Automatic video start and intrusive ads [View all]

Hey,

Just about every time I open DU a video with audio starts playing on its own. It’s very annoying.

Also, the pop up ads are getting quite intrusive and difficult to close (or at least to find the X or close button).

I understand the need for ads, but do they need to this intrusive?

Any thoughts?
