      Hi,

      One of the most disgusting experiences while browsing web pages is the auto playing anonymous and highly non relevant ad videos at some corner of the page which buffer mostly and automatically plays. There are familiar websites which been following this activity. I don't think Google has ever rolled out an update to penalise these. Any idea why?

      Thanks

        Hi Vtmoz,

        Couldn´t agree more with you, they are a pain in the ... specially when they have sound and i have no idea where the vid is.  As Google rolled out there mobile interstitials penalty at the beginning of this year and this is also a usability issue, who knows...

        Apparantly John Mueller from Google also said he didnt like them and asked if they should penalize.

        Would surely be a game changer.
