I can understand how auto-playing past broadcasts might be a way to bring in additional ad revenue (though I may be wrong about this being the pragmatic reason behind the feature, but honestly the lack of a way to turn this off makes me much more likely to wait and see the vods I want when they get uploaded to Youtube. I actually haven't renewed any of my subscriptions for a while, just because not using the twitch app makes it hard for me to justify giving them a cut. If there really aren't many people who desire this, please just have the auto-play turned on by default with some obfuscated, hard to find option hidden in the UI somewhere. That'd be better than this.
