Yeah, but now you unmute for the youtube videos, and re-mute before the banner ad gets you? Gah!

I paid $$ to get rid of the ads on the sides...

Just popped up in the upper right corner a few seconds before I posted... Wall mart $1,000 gift card...

Well, it may cause me to install an ad-blocker to my browser... but making a public thing about blocking the ads that allow Shad to make this profitable would not be nice.

So I will resist that impulse in the hopes that "talking ads" will not continue on this site.

I'm personally hoping that enough people will agree that Shad will halt any ads with an audio "output"...

This is not the talking one, but pretty obnoxious:

I'll bet that fried sound card is not an advantage watching youtube videos!

Seriously, if there was not the frequent link to a nice youtube video with nice sound, I would entertain muting my computer... today I got the talking ad at work when I was taking lunch at my desk... no used to having anything make noise unless I request it.

Korm, I can, and definitely understand the technology, but you might remember my statement in my second post:

"Well, it may cause me to install an ad-blocker to my browser... but making a public thing about blocking the ads that allow Shad to make this profitable would not be nice. "

I don't want Shad to make any less money, I like MLS... recommending people to block ads could damage Shad's ability to get revenue from them. I meant that statement.

Just kill the audio... I'll put up with the flashing lights.

I will reinforce the intent of Nick's comment... virtually the entire thread of responses is of one mind, and then someone comes in and calls everyone babies and insults them by calling them names. Several names.

You are bucking the clear consensus.

Go away back to the kool aid forum where people like you. (or so you think)

p.s. having talking ads is not encouraging to newcomers

p.p.s thank you Shad for your prompt attention, and it's comforting to know it was not intentional
