So everyone finds popup ads annoying. And now the latest thing are autoplay videos.
There are billions and more on the internet.
Everywhere.


So very annoying, and for those with limited data streams, needlessly eat your data. AS do apps, auto updates, etc... but that's another pervasive problem.

It is required to warn Everytime, to those with low data streams, that popups exist on links which we post. And possibly save any from going over their data limits. Very redundant requirement, must be better ways to deal with the issue?

Maybe web browsing 101 course, volunteered by? What a great idea, courses to educate. YouTube videos that some could monetize?
Hmmmmm.... Who could that be?

To improve this, here is a positive approach solution which will save data & stress while liberating the busy and frustrated, most excellent mods that everyone appreciates. 

Popular Science article on how to block popup ads and videos. Very well done how to and includes all major OS.

 article may/will help this problem in future. Yes this post is long but, demanded to have sufficient detail to help determine the value of the video, and assess solutions to negative issues.

Ordinarily, would just post the link with the descriptive title but told that is insufficient, yet too efficient.

Maybe a sticky to help those with data limits to minimize this serious problem instead of utilizing punitive actions/comments/ deletions would give better results?
How about an auto note during the sign up process to educate on those frustrating 3 points.

  There are better ways to deal with this. Unless...

Teach a man to fish.


Have a nice day.
