Really can't stand it. In fact, I found this question after googling 'number of people that like autoplay videos'. I haven't found concrete numbers yet, but it is my suspicion very few people appreciate them. And I was only trying to get today's weather forecast, when The Weather Channel blasted me off my chair. I am guessing that from a marketing point of view, it is not so much a turnof as it is an outright deterrent. In my experience people actively warn each other about sites that have autoplay on them. (i.e. 'AVOID')
