On this particular page load, BOTH of the ads at the bottom resulted in this problematic ad. That's TWO INCREDIBLY HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS PLAYING AT ONCE. Scrolling the page was nearly impossible. It took me TEN MINUTES to get this information because that's how slow the page was. This will happen on ANY page unless it is very short in length. | On this particular page load, BOTH of the ads at the bottom resulted in this problematic ad.

I | I was told somewhere that if I made an account, these ads would not be an issue, but the very principle of these ridiculous ads outrages me still. This is a huge HUGE punishment for casual readers who have not made an account. What if someone is playing a Smash Bros. game and they want to look up some information really quickly here? They're going to be hit with this HUGE drop in performance, and then they will probably never come back to this site ever again. This is a huge problem for the hundreds of casual guest users who stop by your site. | ||
I was told previously that "video ads are a thing that cannot be avoided". This is absolutely, 100% untrue. This and other MediaWiki sites are the ONLY website I have EVER seen that has these kinds of high-quality video ads. I peruse the internet quite a bit, and there are some ridiculous and annoying ads on some of the biggest sites out there, but not a single one employs auto-play High-quality flash video play objects like this. I have contacted plenty of other websites to let them know that a bad ad was hampering my experience, and they have all promptly fixed the issue. | I was told previously that "video ads are a thing that cannot be avoided".
