I cancelled my Netflix subscription over that feature... If I want to watch it, I'll press play.

- allenu 2y agoThese autoplay features make me a little anxious. If I'm browsing through movies, I just want to read the description in peace and not have to worry that the trailer or movie itself will start playing. It makes me click Next more quickly than I would want just to avoid the countdown timer expiring.
