adblock turns the autoplay feature back on?

i just discovered this by accident i went to my group here https://groups.spacehey.com/talesof to see if anythings been posted recently i had my adblock on (which i only recently added becuase the youtube to mp3 website was too over run with ads to be operable anymore and i didn't really have any other place to download youtube video from anyways i had it on just now cuz i was going back and forth between news sites which have the same type of issue) and when i entered the page the soundcloud embed actually autoplayed like it's supposed to i had to check if it was actually the adblock though so i closed the window turned the extension off and reopened the window and the soundcloud link no longer worked so i closed the window again turned the extension back on and of course opened the window again and again the autoplay works i don't know exzactly what is causing this to work unless the 3rd party block is just some sort of ad? doubt it anyways the adblock i'm using is uBlock Origin the link to which is

feel free to try it out but honestly i'm not a big fan of the idea of using adblockers on sites like this one 
that could use the revenue (unless the ads are making browsing impossible) i only had it on because of sites
in other tabs

Could be that the adblocker is blocking the script responsible for sanitizing the page, allowing things to play like before.
