Title: Auto-play video ads? WTF?
Post by: NoStacheOhio on December 05, 2016, 12:04:57 PM
Just had a Brawny ad auto-play with sound in a thread. Deeply uncool.

It didn't even fit in the banner. It was just a center-punch of the full frame.

We'll look into it right away.  As far as I know, this shouldn't be a thing here. 

Are we the only place you see these ads?

Is anyone else seeing such pop-up ads?

Toque.

Not a pop-up, but noticed an auto-play with sound today.

Yeah, it isn't a popup, but a video banner with autoplay sound. I only saw one, but it really surprised me.

I generally see video ads various places on the web, but I haven't seen this particular one (Brawny paper towels) anywhere else.

Update: came across another auto-play video ad in a banner space, but without audio. Screengrab attached.
