Ask HN: Does anyone actually like autoplaying of videos on websites?

Genuinely curious about this. Just to be clear - I'm referring to the autoplaying of videos on services like Netflix, Amazon Video, Udemy, and YouTube, as well as news sites and sports sites.

As a user, there are very few situations I can conceive of where autoplaying of videos would be useful/desired. Even if I was in such a situation, I would much prefer the option to toggle autoplay on and off myself as needed.

Anyone out there genuinely like these default autoplaying settings? If so, why?
