Auto Run Video Ads
Gustav made this board great by adding good content and good videos. With all due respect it is sad to see that it has been basically left alone, and now when I go on the board instead of seeing positive things my speakers blast adds, or even worse political content. Is this going to be a permanent thing from now on?

Thanks for the idea, but the day I have to install a "free" plugin that will likely sell my info to be able to browse a board is the day I switch boards.

Good point...didn't think of the privacy issue.

Can always block the ad via hosts file.

Yeah these ads are a joke. I dont need to see some BS from Suzy Orman when Im reading about my beast. Moderators, please ask the new owners of the board to shut these down.

I'm all for the ads to help pay for the site content, but I feel like the ones that autoplay with AUDIO need to go.

Surely there are others that are less intrusive...?

Some of us use less configurable browsers or are unable to install things on work computers without the IT gatekeepers....
