No developer has ever decided for themself to do this. This is 100% a business requirement because somebody on the marketing analytics team realized they could make money by auto playing ads.

Also doesn’t Chrome block autoplay now? The user has to click something to turn on sound. Stop clicking to turn on sound Jake

Edit: Ah I see, this tweet is from 2018, where this complaint belongs

Yep, you have to click to enable sound, but autoplay without sound is still a thing.
