Constant intrusive videos

These are driving me mad. I understand you need to sell advertising space, but on every thread there is a highly intrusive video. Even when I close them down they reappear on the same thread! Surely once a user has closed the ad that should be it?

It's so annoying.

In fact I'm typing this blind as it's covering up with whole screen as I type.

So much for a gentle early morning scroll. Quite the opposite.

North Face is a prime example of a video that takes over my entire screen. I am on dark mode due to eye condition and light sensitivity and that advert is an absolutely bastard, it's bright white and dayglo yellow. Torture! It just flashed up on my screen without warning so I just shut the whole site down to try and clear it 😱

I've just posted on an AIBU thread on the same topic

Good luck with that on here 😂

I just use the iPhone (Safari) feature to remove unwanted items. Have to do it on every page but it gets round not being able to use ad blockers on this site.

can you explain how to use that please?

I’ve literally just downloaded an ad blocker for the very same reason. It’s driving me mad!
