Hmm weird, it seems to auto-play as soon as I move mouse cursor over the switch area, but not any sooner.
GoTV is a fantastic idea that helps develop the community further, thank you!
A minor UI/UX suggestion – as per usual hehehe.
Here is how the top bar looks like for me now:
A slight problem is that indicators don’t follow any particular logic. First, it’s chat. Semi-personal, okay. Then it’s tournaments. Something like website-wide, okay. Then it’s friends and notifications – a rather personal indicators to which I will pay the most attention. And then the no. active streams, which is a website-wide stuff again.
I would suggest to rearrange them in a way that clearly separates personal stuff from website-wide stuff. E.g.:
Update:
The width of the top bar whitespace changes if I go from the homepage to the stream page.

Sorry, forget it, there just seems to be a random delay for me, everything else seemingly was just coincidence.
Yeah, there was a bug in the autoplay setting code. I had the setting working for the initial load but forgot about the updates, so as soon as the list of streams updated it was still autoplaying.
That should be fixed now. May need to reload the page.

Mature as in NSFW? There are sexy go streams?

I feel like this severely increases the liklihood that OGS stream chat will be dead 
By “Blacklist”, we only mean blacklist from being shown on the OGS site, not try to discourage people from watching it themselves. I think it is not only reasonable but good to use this new feature to lead people to real people who are streaming Go, and so blacklisting streams which are just automated makes perfect sense

Some people drink or smoke or use strong language etc on stream. Ideally, they’d mark their stream as “mature” if they’re doing that

Probably gambling counts as mature too, which is common on asian servers.

Really? I guess Twitch can define “mature” however they wish, but I’m against minors doing drugs, not watching people do them (though I do think intentionally doing airborne drugs in the presence of children should constitute child abuse if the drug has been shown to have negative health ramifications)
And swearing is just this weird obsession a lot of people have with what words are used to express something rather than what is actually expressed

I disagree. I don’t ever use twitch, but this stream seemed interesting, even only as background noise and because everyone blasted it immediately. It might have lead me to look for real streamers as well. I’m not sure I will now.
As a general rule, not directed to anyone here, I’m for standing out based on merit and not eliminating “competition”.

I am too, but I’m also for judicious intervention to stop that competition from being spoiled, in this case by non-humans. If people want to watch the bot streams, they can Go to Twitch, but I think OGS should be promoting people
I mean it’s a useful notice all the same 
I suppose there’s two kinds of takes on having the stream indicator almost always sitting at 1 say:
- “oh it’s probably just that bot stream I won’t check it out”.
- “oh, at least it seems there’s always something on, I’ll check it out”.
I’d probably fall in the latter one myself to be honest as of recently. I probably won’t open twitch and go to the Go category, but it’s pretty easy to have the GoTV page open in like one click.
