Ask HN : Is the "auto-starting a sound" new trend annoying?

3 points by dan_sim 17y ago

I was browsing through the comments of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=894251 and I opened 4 links and 2 of them automatically started a song or a video with sound. 2 or 3 years ago, this technique was used only by scams or cheap websites and now, perfectly legit sites are doing it. Isn't it annoying? Why did it come back?
