I remember when I was a subscriber, Road.cc decided to add the auto play feature for their videos with ads on all articles which was annoying at the time. Did they remove them for subs in the end? 

Only asking as the silent videos that start advertising their videos silently stop being silent between 30 secs and a 1minute into browsing with a 30 second long Olivia Rodrygo (whoever she is) advert. Obviously a pain when doing a quick browse on a works laptop with built in speakers. Shame I can’t install Ad-blockers so less vists to road.cc is on the horizon.

It is that video box in the centre which was the culprit, especially with the one shitty advert which didn’t auto mute. So it seems they have now removed them from subscribers. If they were faster at getting rid of known PBU’s I might resubscribe at some point.

Check out if you can see the Road.cc youtube video halfway down any article (also check to see if you already have an adblocker on and working as it does block this as well.). 

The adverts are normally muted at the start, the the Road.cc video will play a couple of minutes of one, then auto change to another road.cc one. On each change a couple of adverts play and for some reason, the Olivia Rodrygo is / was unmuted and blared out her music loudly. It is not the first time this has happened, but is definitely the most annoying and loud one to have happened. 

However It might have either been removed from rotation by Road.cc or just no longer needed as time sensitive as it isn’t appearing this evening.

Subscriber and had this several times in the last few days, vastly annoying music, was not popular at seven this morning when I opened the site on the computer then went to make pre-ride coffee only for it to suddenly start blasting out!

I subscribe – I don’t see any

I subscribe – I don’t see any adverts at all and none of the embedded videos in news stories autoplay (the X/YouTube/Instagram videos)
