2 days of no videos automatically playing was a relief. It’s back and unfortunately it raised my internet bill 50 bucks last month. Not enough going on on here to justify 50 bucks a month. Too bad as it’s gonna kill the traffic. Have a great weekend.

It must be on your end, since I don't have that problem.

Sounds like a very limited data plan on a phone,

Desktop for 98% of my internet for me...Unlimited data,

And a screen I can actually see.

Do you click on every one of those ads to make the payments, Paul? If not, you have no room to preach to anyone.

It was nothing more that a statement of fact. Was it factually incorrect?

It was not incorrect. What I found objectionable was your tone and your implication. The implication being "if you don't view the ads, you are cheating Rick of income." And the tone being one of castigation from a superior person.

Swifty and I are not best buddies, but you are no better than he is.

If you aren't paying for the product you are the product.

You need a better ad blocker Swifty

Exactly! Ad Blocker Pro can block a specific element of a page.

Data usage.


Yep, my ISP charges by the Gig. Called pay for what you use .Problem is that even if you pause the videos at the get go they still load 50% of the video data, The ISP sees the data usage even if I dont play the thing. Some of those are 45-50 minutes long, a video that long is 2.5-3.5 Gig in data so each one loads anywhere from 500 meg to 1.5 Gig in data every page you open.

LMAO does'nt work on mobile devices such as iPad and iPhone. Only works on PC where you have a source code editor built in to the OS. Sorry, thats how the block element works, examines the source code of the web page and blocks the code from executing.

Same thing happens when I open up most any news websites.

Like my local Nashville News2 affiliate, it’s not commercials but they have the latest canned on- scene report of the headline running video. It’s a data hog.

I used to only have 2 Gb monthly on my iphone.

Fortunately, they finally brought is fiber internet on our rural road and I have unlimited.

But yeah,,,PC ?? Pffft, I have not sat in front of a PC or a laptop in almost 6 years since quitting my worky-job.

I do most anything a person chained to a desktop can do while sitting on a tractor parked in the woods, or just wherever.

Can yall’s Commodore64 take a picture of a check and deposit it into your bank account? 😃

You can get unlimited data plans for mobile devices for 50-60 bucks per month. Maybe look for a different plan?

Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Tools, Popup Blocker, Popup Blocker Settings, can stop the display, but one must identify the specific source. One might try entering : "https://ssl-cdn.carbontv.com/24hourcampfire-embed.html?cb=1" minus the quotes.
