#DeathToAutoPlay – no more audio and video that plays automatically!

TidBITS:

There is little more surprising—or even alarming—than having audio start blasting from your speakers while something starts moving before your eyes. It triggers all sorts of fight-or-flight reactions buried deep in our brainstems, wakes the kids, and scares the pets.

I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!

Is there anyone outside of advertisers and corporations that actually wants video or audio to autoplay?
