It’s a video lol. It’s got an audio unmute button bottom right corner as seen in your screenshot. But yeah you’re right, someone might want just the text.
oh god it's even worse lol I didn't even see the audio thing. totally thought it was just a gif. I regret hearing it now :(
Well yeah, but posting just a text or at least a picture would have been slightly better.
Though i completely agree, it sucks.
I can't even watch random videos some friends send me from time to time because it soft forces to make an account and download said social medias app. I've literally said to multiple friends that there's no point to send funny videos from some places as i cant watch those anymore.
It was a video with a dramatic voice over.
But yeah 100%. Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, Twitter, no I don’t want to download your app, no I don’t want an account to view a meme.
Then it's understandable. Muted is the default so i completely missed that part.
This video could've been an image. But yeah, agreed.
As someone who was a teenager when home computers with Internet were starting to get popular, I can tell you something similar occurred and we semi fixed it. So I'm hopeful for that too.
Popups.
They would be all over even if you weren't on the browser.
It could make the computer unusable.
But then ad blockers came out. And virus protector software.
And it's true that the advertising-virus of the internet mutated.
But then we got u blocker .
And I think there is a demand for better blocking and I'm hoping someone out there finds solutions.
