I may be wrong on this, but I believe they are legally required to stop auto-playing every so often, so that it still counts as on-demand streaming and not simply a TV channel.
In fact, that's probably not correct, not sure where I picked that up.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoNetflix has to pay for every "view" to whomever they're licensing content from, just as Spotify has to pay for every listen (although, the rules are much different for internet "radio" than they are for video streaming agreements Netflix has). All services check if you're still around so they're not spending licensing money they don't have to.
