I have been googling in this subject and I cannot find a working solution. I watch netflix on Apple TV, MBP and IPad Pro. I want stop Netflix from automatically playing ads when I start the Netflix app. It is so gaddam annoying. I don’t know which asshat came up with this annoying and painful idea. Is there anyway? Is there anyone here who works for Netflix and can add this as a backlog item. Also adding a poll here Does the ad auto play feature annoy you?

I have literally never seen an ad on Netflix. Is this a recent update? I almost exclusively watch Netflix on my Apple TV 4K.
OP means autoplay trailers
You would think for a company that does a lot of testing they would’ve realized this would annoy users.
They almost certainly did test it. It was probably very positive, so much so that they decided it was worth it to ship even with some users being annoyed by it.
Well hopefully they tweak it
It's extremely annoying. I get it if they want to make it the default, but give us an option to disable it.
I think they do this because they A/B tested it and it led to more engagement for Grandma in Bumfuck, Iowa. But us tech people HATE it and it is really shortsighted. I hate it so much I feel like cancelling for this reason alone.
If all ‘us tech people’ canceled their Netflix subscriptions it would hardly put a dent in their revenue.
Yeah I know. But we are influencers with our family and friends. Like if we all stopped buying MacBook Pros because of the Touch Bar. It is more of a longer term ripple effect. We won't do that of course because even shitty Macs are still better than Windows.
Ugh, it is actually really nice. Thank you Netflix for this beautiful UI/UX.

I hate that shit, directly press mute after starting Netflix
