| Apr 15, 2021 at 15:24 | comment | added | Kelemen Máté | I usually keep SO opened in a tiled window, and combined with auto-running the result is INSANELY frustrating: text wraps differently for each ad, periodically shifting the vertical position of the question, comments and answers. Even when I'm scrolled down to an answer and the ad is nowhere in sight. | |
| Apr 15, 2021 at 15:08 | comment | added | user50049 | My eyesight is getting really bad and, I'm trained to look for "blinky" stuff near the top of the screen so the animation is a bit too much for me. I'm absolutely fine with them advertising their paid services and I know it's tough to find the intersection of doing that effectively and courteously, but the animation is difficult for me. That and not being able to find a means of closing it. Animation of mostly any kind has to be really minimal if it shares space with long-form content. | |

| Apr 14, 2021 at 16:10 | comment | added | 0Valt | this stuff never ceases to amuse me. I opened SO today to find some marketing text taking a third of my screen and actively changing... And then it turned out to be a testimonials slider set on autoplay. This a wet dream of a sales agent: promoting the blog, the podcast, and Teams in one package. We are truly doomed. P.s. More on point - the speed of the slider [live, not in the gif] is too high and a bit sickening. | |
| Apr 14, 2021 at 16:04 | comment | added | user400654 | i still remember when there was a big push to normalize the way information is presented to users via banners so that only important information was presented in specific banners, only for it to be abused a month later to promote SO Jobs and podcasts.. now we get full blown ads in those places with dancing bologna | |

| Apr 14, 2021 at 15:56 | comment | added | samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz | @KevinB That they are common, makes things even worse. I though SO had higher standards then the common sales site, but apparently I was wrong | |
| Apr 14, 2021 at 15:48 | comment | added | user400654 | eh, auto-running sliders are actually pretty common.... on marketing/ecommerce site home pages | |
