The auto play of movie trailers while browsing for titles irritates me to the core.

It's like I know I can't read the description longer than 3 seconds or else all these moving pictures that I don't want to see are going to start jumping at me.

I know it sounds like a 1st world problem but it made the Netflix experience unbearable for me.

I was ready to cancel my subscription.

Then I learned on this site while reading comments you can turn this off by logging in your account on the web.

These *&$ knew only geeks like me would be put off by auto-playng trailers. They knew only geeks like me would find the turn off setting. I hate Netflix, but I'm still paying. I hate myself.

Nevermind trailers, what about when it just starts playing the film while you're reading the description and talking about it?

I agree it's infuriating. Always end up doing this ridiculous quick-jumping around back and forth dance, and often end up on mute too if we don't decide quickly.

I have 'do not autoplay previews' on in my settings; don't see an option for 'do not autoplay features'.
