Anyone else annoyed by the video advertisements on Yahoo! lately?

Every time one comes on, I can no longer type to answer a question. I could be typing away just fine, then everything freezes. It took me a while to figure out what was happening, but now it's clear that every time the video advertisement begins, everything freezes up.

If Yahoo! doesn't get rid of this, I think that'll be the end of my time spent on any of their websites.

Update:

(I'm sure some folks would be happy to see me go.) ;)

    ❀~ Whatever you’re getting, I’m not receiving. However, once I started typing it went from regular, blank, and adfree Yahoo Answers to ad monster. There are two repetitive ads, but these aren’t videos. They remind me of a GIF with some brand to click on them. I know the feels. And I’ve been there before. I couldn’t type my answer in the answer box because it wasn’t letting me, so I refreshed and refreshed to finally type in it. ~❀
