Safari tries to be smart about which sites it blocks autoplaying video on, too. YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Twitch, Crackle, Vudu, and DailyMotion are among the sites allowed to autoplay videos with sound turned on by default. That makes enough sense, since we want videos to play when we go to those sites. There seems to be some inconsistency among TV streaming sites, though: for instance, it looked to me like HBO Go was whitelisted, but HBO Now was not. The same goes for DirecTV Now, which was whitelisted, and Sling TV, which didn't appear to have to go ahead to autoplay with sound. That's not going to create enormous problems for these sites or their subscribers, but I'm sure the companies behind them will be plenty annoyed with Apple.
