i hate sites that autoplay video, especially if there's audio involved. How difficult is it to make it only play when the play button is pressed?

Yes, somebody should scan all the links on YC for autoplaying videos and ads, rate the severity and provide the results via an API so that one can use a greasemobkeyscript/browser extension to highlight all the shitty links.

Personally, I got a completely blank page until I allowed a couple of domains to run scripts.
