Remind me never to take TWO summer graduate courses because they'll be "condensed" and will go quickly.

But you are The Fox. You can't not kick ass.

I've said this before on this thread, but I think it bears repeating. I hate websites with autoplay, especially when you can't turn of the ad, spam, useless newstory, etc.

Install AdBlock+ on whatever browser you are using. Problem solved.

asking... seriously, i thought those things were just for like the pop up ads

 

[knight1fox3]

They are, but I believe AdBlock will detect the nature of the auto-play video and block it accordingly. Will really depend on how the website is designed and the format of the video. It probably won't catch all of them but I'd say 90-95%.

I am using Adblock...they still play. So tired of bloated websites with too much content.

I swear, the online versions of the major print media outlets (Washington Post, NY Times, etc.) remind me of the old websites that used to cram as many advertisements and animated gifs on them as possible. I've had a few articles that I clicked to from Drudge where a pop-up darkens the background (where the article I'm trying to read is) then the javascript crashes, so I can't close the pop-up. If you do manage to close the pop-up, there's usually a pop-under ad that runs a memory-leaking animated ad, slowing your computer down. The auto-play advertisement before the video news segment starts. If you close that, you still probably have a video ad somewhere along the right side of the screen. When you hit the back button to get back to Drudge Report, you go through a splash screen ad that was transparent when you clicked onto the site (Forbes is particularly bad about this).

I understand that online media is killing newspaper ad revenue, but they are insane if they think that people are going to continue to use their site for news content when there are so many ads you literally can't read the content you are after.

I have no clue what any of this means, but I'm pretty sure this is why I'm always saying "I just wanted to read the stupid article!"

You guys make me feel so much better about my hatred for the exact same shit. If I have to see one more "YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT LAW THEY JUST PASSED TO MAKE XXX LEGAL IN YOUR STATE", I'm going to f*cking kill myself. These media sites are worse than Homer Simpson's Geocities page.
