I think this is a splendid demonstration of what follows when a service goes from good defaults to bad defaults, and leaves you the user to check the box to change it back. FWIW.

With the focus on series and binge-watching, I don't think it's a bad feature.
Previews that auto play on hover (with SOUND!) = rage inducing

Auto playing the next episode = Good

Yep - the ONLY feature I want in a streaming service, beyond decent content, is for it to not play things I didn’t ask it to play. Netflix used to be that, but it no longer is.
I absolutely hate this feature. Can I not even browse quietly in the middle of the night while everyone asleep.
