What's this?

Some of these Video Ads are getting sneaky.


Especially on Weather.com... I want to watch a simple little video clip and an 88 second Ad starts. I try to mute it with the volume icon on the player, and that redirects to the ad website. I try to pause it, and it redirects. Two clicks are now registered for their ad, which could be considered misleading clicks, that the ad company is now paying weather.com for. It was so frustrating, I just left the entire website. Better model: a 20-230 second ad that I actually listen to or watch to get to the 30 second video clip.

  Whats even more annoying is when the ADs cause the page to lock up or crash -- vt_mughal 05/17/2019 11:27AM
