The earning video which is there beneath every blog post starts auto playing and it’s quite annoying. It eats up the high speed data. I am using a limited high speed data plan and already it’s quite expensive. So I don’t want this video auto playing all the time. Is there any way we can get rid of the auto play thing?

@shaloo walia I don’t think there is any way to stop them from auto playing. For limited data plan yes it is bit annoying. And same thing goes for readers. I mean if they will have limited data plan and will lose data because of video during reading articles, then this can cause trouble to them and they may not come again. This is just my thought. I am not sure about it.

@Anand  The earning rewards video should be there only on the home page or the FAQ section. I don’t know why they have to put it on every page as it’s slowing down the page as well as interfering with the user experience.

@shaloo walia True. I don’t know if it is glitch or what but when we click on forum itself there are videos under each section of forum on same page. I hope admin will reconsider it.

@shaloo waliaWhile the video per se is good for the site it can interfere with those specially who have their sound system for other purposes. Have written to @support just now and hope something will be done.

And as for the  data I have gone for  unlimited for which I pay 1200. It is so peaceful now. I do not have to worry about looking whether I have finished with my charge.

Though I have unlimited Internet access, I still hope the videos will not be auto played, as they certainly slow down my computer.

I understand the team is trying to find more ways to bring revenue to the site, I hope they are just testing this out and will consider our feedback. Perhaps as @swalia mentioned, maybe the video ads can be placed on certain pages, but not all forum pages, or it would be better if the auto play feature can be turned off. I personally do not like to visit a site where the audio is auto played, I would choose to stay away from the site.

Thanks @bestwriter for bringing this up to the team. 🙂

@Lee Ka I have suggested that to support.

Gosh i thought it was only me who was going through this thing, so it’s everyone. what is it really is it a glitch or what, sometimes you would be working quietly then it comes on. it’s so annoying then you add the pop ups i wish the admin could be done to avoid all this.

I am aware that this video slows down our activity as also this video  eats into our data. You can stop this by going to your plugins in your browser. I will not do it but go through this inconvenience. The site is trying ways and means to make their presence felt on the Net and I think we should give them time. They will themselves  stop it when it is time to do so.

@bestwriter  which plan are you using? i am using airtel 4g plan which is damn expensive.

August 3, 2016 at 2:12 pm

I have not opted for a 4G connection. I am still at 3G.

I actually think the video has a very limited interest to most people. It would be good to have on a FAQ page where there are explanations about earning on LB. For recruitment purposes or to stimulate activity, they really ought to work on a shorter video with a human voice. It should be catchier, with a lighter tone, and not be so concerned with providing specific details of how the site works.

And obviously, any video that autoplays when the page is loaded is really a bad idea.
