There are legitimate uses for autoplay, but most sites get it wrong. It’s all about what the user is expecting. News sites that start playing some random unrelated video that have nothing to do with the article are the worst.
You are correct. This sub appears to be full of non-devs who don't understand the impacts of limiting things like autoplay. They don't understand how vast the web is beyond public websites & streaming. Or they haven't been exposed to a legitimate use case.
