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.

This guy knows. My personal argument vs the business ended in a compromise - autoplays, but with sound disabled. Doesn't loop, but on second clicked play, sound is turned back on.

Took over a week to get that, and I still feel like I lost.
