What is Frictionless Autoplay?
The next episode or video starts on its own, removing the moment of decision between one piece of content and the next.
Where it comes from
Netflix & YouTube (2010s)
How it hooks you
Exploits defaults: when continuing requires no action, watching more becomes passive and stopping becomes the effortful option.
How to resist it
Turn off autoplay in your account settings so continuing is a choice you make, not a default.
