I’m pretty sure this option exists in the youtube settings, I found it and disabled autoplay at one point. Poke around, you’ll find it.

but you have to be logged in for that setting to be effective and most of the time I'm not logged in when browsing YouTube...
Sometimes I just let it play in the background to eat up their bandwidth for no reason because i don't like stupid default settings. I get it that google is trying to turn the Internet into a TV, but soon you won't even have to type anything in Google Search... the results will come to you.

You want autoplay off when you're trying to eat up their bandwidth?

no, I let it do its thing when I'm not logged in... muted, of course.

It also consumes power for no reason.

yeah I know, it's not really a good solution unless most people do it. The better alternative is to not use the Youtube app or website... you can use NewPipe as an app for accessing Youtube, for example...
