The only time I've found myself wanting autoplay is when it's an obvious playlist, such as TV shows on Netflix or explicit playlists on Youtube.

All of the other times, it's really just irritating, and I've only gotten more annoyed lately because of it. Netflix just promotes its newest shows, and frankly I don't watch that many Netflix originals. Youtube... the recommendations are fine, but the next video selection is very little hit and mostly miss for me.

I honestly like YouTube's autoplay, as I use YouTube to listen to music the autoplay feature allows me to find new artists and songs to listen to. I get a much better "Radio" experience than I have gotten from say Spotify.

Youtube's autoplay (ie, play another video after the current one) will likely continue to work as it doesn't reload the page. You can also enable autoplay on a site-per-site basis if you want it to occur regardless.

Personally I'd rather prefer autoplay being something I give permission for than the site asking for forgiveness (which in 99% of cases I will answer by muting the site permanently).

How'd you mute a site permanently?

I use "MuteLinks" by "Shaxine" from AMO to mute sites permanently.

Revoke JavaScript permission. That's what I do (in case I ever allowed it).

I agreed until recently, but now my music autoplay is very inclined to get stuck in a loop of music I've already heard (did I listen to those tracks too many times?). The additional recommendations can still be good but need more manual intervention than letting it autoplay.

Yeah Youtube's algorithm for playing stuff you will like is pretty good.

Know who else's algorithm has done the same thing for me? Pandora. It's basically my go-to music app. I have groomed a station to be exactly what I love and it just sticks to a formula, automatically adds in new releases by the artists I already follow, and plays music I like.

The weird thing about Youtube's autoplay is that if it is a video you actually want to watch you need to rewind the start when you click on it because there's no audio during autoplay and it starts the video from where autoplay "left off".

That doesn't happen to me. There is audio during autoplay.

Maybe one of us changed a setting. My auto play has closed captions and no audio.
