I think you are vastly overestimating the brojos' business sense. Your post probably contains more business analysis than they have done in the entirety of LRC's existence.

Anyone that runs a business on ad revenue should have a baseline understanding of how that revenue model works.

And its not like you even have to try hard... Google analytics will break out all the key metrics into a bunch of idiot proof charts.

I leave the site earlier. I hate it!

Yes get rid of it..please............................................................................

I haven't seen a pop up or dealt with autoplay on letsrun and I've been coming here since pop ups began.

Are any of you going to explain why you can't put adblock on and shut. Up.

dude, it's been repeated a thousand times on here. The majority of people who complain about the pop up ads CAN'T PUT ADBLOCK ON THEIR WORK COMPUTERS.

How to stop autoplaying ads, videos and media in Chrome

Disabling autoplay videos and media in Chrome is simple. First of all you need to type "chrome://chrome/settings/content" into the URL bar. Then all you need to do is scroll down to the plug-in section, and select 'click to play'.

How to stop autoplaying ads, videos and media in Firefox

Disabling ads/videos in Firefox is a little different from the process in Chrome. The first suggested way to stop Flash content from playing is to enter Firefox's configuration settings by typing "about:config" into the URL bar, accepting the warning, then entering "plugins.click_to_play" into the search box and toggling the settings. However, we experienced limited success with this method.

If this technique doesn't work for you, we suggest downloading the add-on Flash Block. To install this all you need to do is Google search "Flash Block Firefox" and install/enable the add-on, and then restart Firefox. Make sure you download from a reputable source. All Flash content will now be click to play, until you disable or remove the add-on.

How to stop autoplaying ads, videos and media in Internet Explorer

Stopping videos, Flash media and autoplaying adverts in Internet Explorer is the easiest the three. Simply go to Tools, Safety and then click on the ActiveX Filtering option. This will then put a tick next to the option, indicating that filtering is enabled.

Thanks, Alex! That got rid of all the crap on LRC. I'd rather be able to see the ads and be able to choose whether to play the videos--or at least go back to the way it used to be when you could permanently set the auto-play videos on mute--but this will do since obviously no one running LRC gives a crap.

Another long time letsrun user here who accesses the forum at work and can't install adblockers. Turn off the Autoplay!
