Advice to Web Designers:
Do not put auto-playing videos on your website and have the speaker volume set to maximum. Are you an idiot? Do you not wish for your visitors to remain on your website long enough to see your message?
Just saying. Nothing will cause visitors to close the tab or click the Back button faster.
That is all. Thank you for your attention.
Rockhead commands you ! Doesn't annoy me. My speakers are on a very low setting.

Can you imagine the Hell the staff of the nursing home (in the near future) is going to be exposed to with this officious moron.

Advice to Rocky:
First world problems ...
Turn down the volume on you computer; or
Mute the sound on your computer and only turn it on when you choose; also
There usually is a pause button on embedded videos. Use it.

I agree with the DUmmie in a way. I hate the autoplay videos, but I always keep the volume down anyway.
What annoys the piss out of me is when you want to read the article and you scroll down the page, they make the video jump down on the page to keep it in view.
Hey morons, if I want to watch the video, I won't scroll down.

Well, at least between the drugs and ALS, he'll forget what he was yelling at them about every ten minutes, so they can pretty safely blow it all off.

There are add-ons for nearly every browser to deal with that.
Rockhead doesn't technology or even internet, so he's just going to have to keep suffering.

There is a browser extension called "element hider" for firefox and chrome. you should check it out and take 15 min to watch some youtube and learn how to use it. You can snuff out all kinds of stuff like that with it.
The DUmpass does hit on a valid complaint. The one thing that pisses me off even more are those entire page hijacks where it disabled the whole page and grays it out until you acknowledge their message. element hider will kill those off too.
If you want to go hard core, you can do what I do and use noscript. It's another addon that disabled all page scripts until you specifically allow them. It makes general browsing a lot more work, but if you are like me and mostly just visit the same websites for the most part, it's nice to have. It comes with a cost though. For instance, I can't even read twitchy anymore. If they insist that I allow all that crap to load, then I'm not interested in their website.
I was ok with banner ads here and there scattered around the page, but when they went full-on hijack, I'd had enough of it.

Are you forgetting that Rock Head is someone who has devoted himself to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge in many areas and disciplines and that certainly includes science.
Rock Head would be living on a colony on Mars if it weren't for Jesus.
