> Smartphone users with bandwidth-capped data service are likely to be particularly annoyed by this, given that Facebook plans to roll out the video ads to both the browser-based version of its service and its mobile apps. I'm one of the most ad-tolerant people I know but this is a terrible idea. I still use FB, but less and less, and the day they serve an auto-playing ad with noise is the day I quit. Unfortunately,…
Auto playing video ads would definitely be a detriment to that.
One of my most memorable "oh shit" moments was being in the office, googling for something programming related and landing on someones hacked blog. I got 301 redirected to some porn site with autoplaying live jasmin popups.
Well, a lot of people browse facebook at work when they should probably technically be doing something else. Auto playing video ads would definitely be a detriment to that.

Because it's not up to the browser when the video is embedded using Flash?
These are the most annoying kind ads. Not only do I have to make sure my sound is off (if they implement it like that), they often times are REALLY loud and annoying. I make it a habit to ignore any company that has these kinds of ad offerings and shop a different brand on principle. Depending on how this is implemented, it could really be the final straw for me with Facebook. When Yahoo implemented those ads where i…
Facebook will not be an exception if they implement them. It's simply unacceptable to me. There is no compromise for me on this topic.
