How does this affect YouTube, Twitch, Netflix?

They still have a "Play" button, no? It's possible there may be some whitelist as well.

FTA:

> Safari 11 also gives users control over which websites are allowed to auto-play video and audio by opening Safari’s new “Websites” preferences pane, or through the “Settings for This Website…” option in the Safari menu

Right you have a way to manually whitelist sites on your own as well. But it wouldn't surprise me if that whitelist came preloaded with a number of legit video sites (netflix, youtube, etc...)
