The Autoplay is REALLY, REALLY, A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G!!!
Actually, I hate most of the current design (UI/UX). It's really streamlined when all you want to do is push "play", but everything else is, quite frankly, laborious.

Good user interfaces use timeless concepts. This might imply that conservative folks make the best UIs, which might not be as sexy.
And a good browsing experience shouldn't be held hostage to "featured promotions" or worse, advertisements.
Maybe there's a market for nice experiences.
I think of costco vs other stores -- at costco, you go get your stuff, pay for it and get out. At other stores there are featured products and advertising influencing the store layout and cluttering the checkout line.
Bought a new one late last year, and the whole UX is a big step backwards, but the Netflix app and the automatically playing previews is high on the list of annoyances.
It feels like one of those "Do you actually dogfood this? Have you actually compared it to previous releases?"
