Hosting has done some good things for the twitch community; but viewers should have the option to opt out of it.
If opted out, instead of auto-playing the hosted video, put a thumbnail of it (like you were looking at it on the browse page) over the hoster's offline image.You can be like: Abc thinks you might like Xyz. [Watch here] (start playing the viewer as if it was hosted) [Go there] (jump to that streamer's page, like that button that appears at the top of a hoster's chat)
