"Daily Highlights" video

[Doc]

This is just as bad as when Itunes automatically downloaded the new U2 album.

Continuous pop up vids on my phone:

Nothing is as bad as U2 automatically downloading.

But it’s close.

"How can we make the mobile site even slower than it already is?"

 

[CtownCyclone]

Yeah, end this. I'm a patreon guy, so I thought that got me in the "fewer ****** ads" club.

Apparently this is not the case.

Don't know if it's the video or what, but this site has been almost unusable on mobile and data the last few days.

It burns through my battery faster than you can blink with all the garbage that runs on it.

I get needing to make revenue and make money, I’m a business guy, but this is killing the product.

When scrolling down half the time the entire screen just shows up gray and you can’t see any more posts. You then can’t refresh so you have to exit out of the whole site.

So annoying. If it happened once a day it'd be bearable but every single new page makes it incredibly frustrating

This probably explains why my data usage this month has been about double the usual amount. Does anyone have a solution on Android that blocks the pop-up video?

Man it's brutal on mobile

5th time trying to post this while the video continues to play when everything g else is frozen

Thanks for your input guys.

This was never supposed to display on mobile. We fixed that on Friday so it shouldn't be showing up on your phones. Frustrating problem for me as that video pays us 5 to 6 times what a normal ad would.

Is it problematic for you guys on desktop too? That's the only place I currently have it displaying.

It just gets very annoying having to X out of it on every single page of the forums

Screw it I just sent the developer a note to remove this altogether. I'll have to figure something else out.

@ChrisMWilliams I appreciate your work on this site. Just a thought but personally I am much more inclined to watch an ad if it is reasonably time weighted. Meaning I'll watch a 30 second full screen ad no problem if it means I can browse ad free for the next 2 hours. That is just my opinion and others may disagree. Just something to think about.

Once again thanks for all you do.

I appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately options like that do not currently exist. We have to go with the options that we have. Thanks again.
