Chrome has insane behavior where it will only autoplay videos from web sites Google trusts. If I put a video on my own web site and domain (muted, autoplay, etc.), it won't autoplay. If I put a gif up, it will. Google claims this doesn't apply to videos with muted, but at least in my Chrome, it does. Muted-by-default makes complete sense to me. I hate it when a web site makes noise. But no autoplay (even muted) is broken. So is having Google act as the arbiter of which web sites get to autoplay (Google's Youtube) and which ones don't (my personal domain). That's a huge conflict-of-interest and hugely anti-competitive behavior right there. It crushes the little guy. Disclaimer: Google claims this is based on some kind of objective metrics.
