There was another thread in "off topic" about the ads getting out of control, but I see that thread was closed, so I'll give my feed back here.I get that ads are essential to keep the page free. On one hand, there has to be enough ads to make it so. People run this site for a living, I get that. Thank you!
To balance that out, the video/audio/autoplay ads very nearly make the experience "not worth" going to the site. (I can't speak for everyone, but in my case, the 2 or 3 video ads per page cause actual performance issues [esp. when I want to have 2-3 tabs open at once with CF forum pages]. I think it "clogs up" the cache of the web browser and makes everything run slower.)
I know the guys who work on CF have more info than me by far, but just wanted to maybe show that you will eventually lose users if the video Ads stay as they are, and we can't block them.
