Is anyone considering quitting yahoo answers due to the new noise making advertisements?

I got lucky.

I use a dial-up connection mainly, so video almost never has a chance to load at my end.

Still, just from the sheer level of annoyance I'm seeing from other people, it's made me put the GAP on my Ignore List in terms of spending money, along with Wal-Mart, Coldstone Creamery, and so on...

Basically, Yahoo will never get the point. They are paid not to.

The only way this is going to change anything is if you cut the sponsor themselves off. Boycott the GAP, refuse any Christmas presents originating from there, and just generally make your displeasure known *offline* in the real in public.

When the sponsor loses money, they'll stop. Seriously.

Hope this helps. Sorry life is so annoying lately.

You can download a advertisements blocker.

I have Firefox with the add-on Adblock Plus and for extra protection Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper

I have never seen a pop up or ad of ANY kind since i used this since August 2007

All free!

Yea its very annoying, I honestly dont care what there doing for the holidays! But i can tell you word for word what they usually do! lol And that little pause button on it is so annoying bc it doesnt work like you said, im just hoping that after the holidays we dont have to listen to it anymore! I hope the ppl on the Y! Answers staff read this question and know that they dont need noise advertisment!!!! It just pushes people away!!! Everyone Star this question so it gets noticed!!!

Get Norton's or something that comes with ad blocking. There's always the odd ad that isn't blocked but nothing from Answers. There are probably some good programs you can use for free - but of course you'll want to research them before you download.

Yes, I am getting sick of hearing the advertisments too. I am also considering not using Yahoo! Answers anymore also. Why the hell is it automatic anyway ? If someone wanted to see what it was it should be clickable and only clickable in order for it to play.

Er !! We shouldn't even have to hit the mute button nor pause it !

It's very annoying, yes, but not as frustrating as being kicked off Yahoo Answers without explanation and no appeal. I was up to Level 6 and now am back on the lowest rung.

Yes! The ads are so annoying that when I answer a question, it scares me (the sudden noise) and I "fall" onto the ground. It is so disturbing. But be careful not to let Yahoo! staff report your question!

I am so glad somebody other than me is annoyed by this. I have to pause the stupid thing every time I refresh a page or go to a new page.

That adverstisement is getting extremely annoying for me as well. But not enough for me to quit using Yahoo Answers, maybe enough for me to keep the volume at a minimum. (I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of clicking on ANYTHING!!)

It's hard if you want to listen to music, though, but I'd prefer silence over that ad's rubbish. Just my opinion.

OMG I thought it was just me that found them ANNOYING!!! Like seriously.......they are annoying. If the pause button does not work why is it there??

If there is anyone from Yahoo reading this........I dont think anyone cares how these people are spending their money for Christmas. Please fix the pause button!!!!
