Mute sound / video of recommended streams on the main page, before entering the site, in the settings
I went to the main page of Twitch and automatically, on the main screen, they began to show me a stream of a certain "buster" who was shouting deafeningly. How can you turn off autoplay of such junk content?

I log onto Twitch, and the first thing I get is a blaring rant from a user broadcasting a video I did not search for, look for, request, or even press "play" for. If this is an ad for your own video content, please allow people to search, and not get hit by your "most watched" list. I don't want to be a part of a demographic when I'm trying to create content of my own.
The problem lies in who's ads you put up as well. I'm not really willing to work hard putting together green energy program ideas and simulations online if my content gets put before a big oil industry ad put on by a rejected NRA CEO.
If I have to rush to stop a loud playing video, I'd hate to see what a newly paralyzed person has to do to get the volume turned down and the video stopped. (I'm one who likes to err on the side of being polite, and not shove a sales pitch down someone's throat attached to a most watched video stream.)
I'd like to see that my ad dollars go towards companies that have an active interest in supporting the disabled members of the public.
Thank you.

Now you get auto play on entering the twitch.tv. Now when there are music streams and you have headsets on, the music is very very load. It's very unexpected and unpleasant.

YES!!! Please give the option to disable autoplay. It super slows down loading the page when connecting or wifi is bad.

Easily fixed by installing 3rd party tools, but after Amazon bought Twitch they've become pretty hostile towards 3rd party stuff.

This was suggested 3 years ago, why hasn't this been addressed with at least some kind of setting?

God yes. This please. Every time I got to Twitch homescreen I'm bombarded by **** DJs playing club music. I've got those categories as 'not interested' for a reason. If it can't be removed (for some god-awful reason), at least make it adhere to the persons category preferences.
EDIT - Fortunately I figured out how to block the entire carousel element that has the featured channels that autoplay at the top of the homepage with Ublock Origin. Still, having a built in way to remove this stupid 'feature' is a must.

I have never once watched a DJ stream, and yet every time I load twitch that's what's blasting garbage at me. I hate that kind of music with all my soul, so I spend the first half hour of whatever stream I wanted to watch annoyed at the 10 seconds of ****.

This. It's so annoying, especially as I've never seen anything interesting in the video that starts autoplaying.
I can't even block it properly with an ad blocker. An ad blocker just hides the autoplaying video but the sound still plays. This is one of the most frustrating features of Twitch.
Every time someone visits your site, you blast them with some random sucky stream with sounds on.
It's a bit like if you were going to a store to buy a specific thing, but the second you step through the front door a representative of some random product you have no interest in starts yelling at you through a megaphone. Would you keep visiting this store or buy your stuff from somewhere else? -

Please this.
Autoplay with sound is so annoying.
