Alright the African Cats ad has to go

Question

Sorry but I listen to songs, watch movies in Spanish etc while I browse the site, and the fact that it plays constantly, audio "African Cats blah blah blah" it interrupts what I am doing. I press pause but then it plays again when the site reloads. This cannot be tolerated. I interferes with my learning. I tend to read threads while doing other stuff so it seems really unfair.

Gracias

This doesn't happen to me at all Jeezzle, I wonder why? - galsally, Apr 16, 2011

I agree with Sally. I don't have this happen at all. - Leatha, Apr 16, 2011

Nor I. - Eddy, Apr 16, 2011

I have the same problem - all of a sudden, an add will play of some movie (usually Disney movies), and you can't stop it...so I just mute my sound... - 001a2987, Apr 16, 2011

Especially annoying when you are doing flashcards and need the sound, and really do not need distractions. - Stadt, Apr 16, 2011

Answer 1

Huh? What are you talking about? What's this "African Cats" thing? Actually, I'd better not even found out - sounds ghastly.

It's actually a new documentary/drama thingie from Walt Disney, being released on Earth Day. Looks decent to me... - 002067fe, Apr 16, 2011

Oh, ok - yeah, I have seen ads on TV, I think. But none that interrupt my work! - Gekkosan, Apr 16, 2011

I seem to be understanding that some pople are seeing this ads with audio here, on SD? I don't get those, thankfully! - Gekkosan, Apr 17, 2011

Answer 2

Well the problem is that adblocker blocks revenue from the site, so it's not a great idea if you are enjoying and using the site. Maybe it was a fluke, haven't seen (or heard) it yet today, that new "audio auto plays" thing seems to be a new terrible feature on these ads.

Do you actually *ever* click on any of the ads, or buy anyting from any of the announcers? Ads only generate revenue insofar people actually click on them. - Gekkosan, Apr 17, 2011

Answer 3

I mainly see ads about learning English

Answer 4

Ads on this website are different depending upon your geographic location.

The ones I see are annoying, though, so I'm finally going to check out Adblocker.

Answer 5

Do you use firefox? You could try downloading an ad blocker . I have one and I don't get any ads at all...
