Comment on Why is the internet overflowing with rubbish ads – and what can we do about it?

For example, Google Chrome has stopped the use of auto-play video.
Even setting aside ads, that was virtually always something that I did not want.
If websites like CNN want someone to watch video, put the video up with autoplay off. If someone wants to watch it, they can start it playing.

But then they can’t ~force you to watch~ claim that you watched the ad at the start of the video for that sweet advertiser revenue.
