I'm sure there is alot of grey as to what's acceptable or not and pretty subjective, but there are some websites that are just obnoxious.
Adblock Plus works pretty well but there seems to always be something "new" that bypasses it and they have to catch up ... so its a continuous hassle.
I'm glad Google is doing something about it.

One of the most annoying things about surfing today’s web – besides all those ads, of course – is landing on a site and getting blasted by a video that starts playing automatically. Not only does the experience surprise and annoy web users, it can also consume power and use data – which is concerning for mobile users, in particular. Now Google says it will do something about the problem. In the upcoming version of the Google Chrome web browser (Chrome 64), Google will limit the ability for sites to autoplay videos.
