Love BP but hate the talking ads

So recently a lot of the ads on biggerpockets.com are videos that run automatically. There's no way that I have found to adjust the audio on these, other than just muting my computer. I know BP needs ad revenue to function, but I hate the audio aspect- especially if I'm listening to something quiet already and this advertiser's voice comes barging in on top of it. Makes me jump!

File under: venting, my $.02

    @Jean Bolger - I'm not sure which ads you're talking about, but we'd never sell these kinds of ads directly. It may be a company that is targeting us via Google AdWords OR it may be an advertiser that is retargeting you based on previous web visits.

    Can you send me an email with a screenshot or let me know the advertiser and we'll investigate?

    I'd never approve ads that play any kind of noise without direct consent from the user via a click or play action.
