Do not automatically play streams when entering the app
With the new update, as soon as I open the app video starts playing without my consent, and without any way to prevent this streaming. This is an issue for people on limited data plans, and for people who open the app for reasons other than watching a stream at that moment. Additionally, it could expose people to creators they are uncomfortable watching without their consent. There is already a toggle in the settings for muting streams on the home page scroll, add one for the home page autoplay.

I have other issues with the update, namely discoverability of new channels and difficulty to navigate to your followed channels, however this suggestion is to fix an ethical issue with the app, rather than a design choice which is shooting yourselves in the foot.
