Hey, I understand that ads support the site, that's fine. But advertisements that play audio by default are a scourge on the web, and I would really like it if Kos would block such ads from display on this site. It's not just that they're annoying (in particular, if you're listening to streaming audio on your computer, suddenly you have a really loud ad playing at the same time, which renders the ad's audio pointless), but in some cases more than one of these ads will load and start playing on the page at once, often way down the page. So you have two ads playing, slightly offset from each other, and you're doing a hunt for them down the front page of the site. Also, they start playing over again every time you reload the page.
I know this isn't a huge amount of copy for a diary, but I do think this is important and wanted to bring it up for discussion. Again, I do realise ads pay for the site, but these self-playing audio ads aren't even effective, because they're so annoying the last thing you want to do is actually look into the product.
