Definitely lots of experiences use this solution, and shouldn't be hurt by sites that abuse it (stop going to or use adblock on this sites?).
I am working on a platform that's a mix of Twitch and Netflix. Entering a "show" starts muted autoplay until the audience member explicitly turns on audio. If they're coming to the show URL I give them, presumably they're there for the show.
- king_magic 8y agoI can’t understand this design decision. What if they open the URL in a new tab, while still focused on another tab? How do you as a user know something is playing on that new tab? You’re helping yourself to their bandwidth and local compute without their consent or knowledge. Why do you think this is okay?
