In general I find auto-play ads annoying but especially so when they auto-play with sound.
Today I opened my browser and while opening several tabs I was blasted with “Do you want to go to space…”. After quickly lowering my volume I started closing out tabs to see which one it was in. I assumed it must be an ad in one of the tabs I had recently opened, so I started with those. Alas the old adage yet again proved true, it was in the last place I looked, and the last place I would have thought to look, my RSS reader.
I’m really trying to be a good web citizen and not install an ad blocker, like everyone else on the planet, but it’s close to being enough.
Apparently there are quite a few others who feel similarlly.
