I've mostly seen autoplaying ads on "blog" sites like Forbes and Huffington Post or news websites. These are known as 'content mills' because they either reprint Associated Press/Reuters coverage, or they publish articles from freelance contributors. It's a bottomless pit of generic content.

Front-load every article with an autoplaying video w/ ads, and that can make some decent revenue if your site has a lot of traffic.
