Please! I'm losing it here!

If you agree, please say so. Maybe Letsrun.com will listen and give us the option to play the videos if we would like or be left alone otherwise.

Yeah, sucks. I've actually skipped out of the site a number of times just to escape that crap.

No more autoplay!!!

There's this great thing called adblocker which blocks the ads. It's a free extension

Why are you idiots not using an ad blocker??? It's been stated countless times already on these threads!

Yes, because I should have to install something on my computer to use a website. This thread is for the website admin to solve a problem. Not for the users to discuss a way to get around something ridiculous that the website should have to take care of themselves.

Obviously threads like these don't work. They're posted everyday. If you want them to change then hit them where it hurts, their wallets. Adblock takes 2 seconds to install.

I installed Adblock and it is effective, but I miss the ads. Over the years I clicked on letsrun ads and made multiple purchases. Some of these products I wasn't aware of until I saw the ad! I always look at running ads but despise autoplay videos. I want to make purchases through letsrun but they forced me to block ads.

seriously brojos. I know autoplay helps your ad impressions and $$$ in the short term. but you're hurting your overall user base and your longterm prospects for the business. stop this amateur hour stuff.

And it's been stated COUNTLESS TIMES already that the point of these threads is to ask the brojos what the hell they are thinking.

Are the brojos TRYING to make us install ad blocker so we see NONE of the ads?

No way! I totally want to see Kimetto break the WR another 7,513,826 times.

I'm hoping that Weldon Johnson will make an appearance on this thread and explain himself. Shit, he probably has ad block installed on all his own computers and has no clue this is going on.

Are you really this obtuse?

Put AdBlock on and STFU.

Check out privacy badger. You can easily block certain ads on a page if you want to.

I have a question for you ad-addled people. When you reply to another post does it show you an ad during the process?

Because if so I think the replyee should get a commission for generating the ad view. 50 percent would be appropriate.

This would encourage good posts that get replied to a lot. Both serious posts and trolls would increase in quality as we all competed for ad revenue.

I agree with this. I really don't mind the ads, and I've clicked on a few of them from time to time. After all, they're usually about running equipment and other stuff that's interesting to runners. But the damn auto-play video is just stupid. Every time I click on a thread, I have to mute the stupid auto-play video. It really, really sucks. But I installed Ad-Block rather than have to put up with it anymore.
