I love how the news of it being changed is also on top of HN, /r/television and /r/movies right now (and probably more subreddits too).

Goes to show how hated autoplay was.

I imagine a large percentage of discussions about Netflix on Reddit have at least 1 upvoted comment about autoplay. I think you are an outlier if it doesn't bother you.

Getting 5 seconds when the credits start to stop it from auto-playing the next episode bothers me sooo much more than the previews (also not a fan of those, but mute is good enough for that).
