They are one of the most infuriating things for me. But I curious to know why is this a popular pattern in websites. Do people actually stop whatever they were planning to do and watch the video ?
I’ve blocked them on all my devices. But once in a while I see them when I use someone else’s devices and I wonder.
Never. You can block that in Firefox by default.
I have all that shit autoblocked.
I try to watch all of them. They are always super informative and entertaining. They always are about something I am interested in. They are always super short and never get in the way of what I am trying to read or actually view. I particularly like how they sometimes play more than one video so it can be a two for one!! Thanks internet ad gods!! /s
That’s great!
Ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for cupcakes.
When you try to read some Warhammer 40k lore and those things get in the way, it’s hard not to want to send an Exterminatus to those who created them.
