Add one more to the list - and this one drives me crazy to no end - on my Chromecast with GTV the wretched thing starts autoplaying even if I just want to read the synopsis. This, despite turning off all autoplay options in my profile. What is the friggin rush?! Why won't you let me browse/read distraction free?!

Look out for this annoying autoplay thing in every other app soon. I do some work in the same space and everyone* thinks if Netflix is doing it it must be a great idea.

(*who makes decisions)

They might be doing a facebook (~ inflating their engagement metrics by autoplaying things)
