Ask HN: New YouTube hover feature? Annoying as frig?

I noticed on the youtube homepage that I cannot hover over a video thumbnail without it getting big and auto playing a portion. Does anyone else find this annoying as hell? I understand the argument about how people don't like change (which will probably be the first counter to my complaining) but this is somewhat overstepping a line for me. What say you, HN?
