Do the rest of y'all on spectrums of neurodivergence like schizospec and autism (and likely adhd which i may have too but not thus far diagnosed with) struggle to read articles etc when there is any moving part like an inset autoplay video or animated ad on the page?
Personally I find it's so distracting from the text I actually came to read, personally usually have to and it's worse when lack of sleep makes symptoms like cognitive effects flare up. Usually I'll scroll to just after/before the ad while I read, but sometimes they put two moving ads/autoplay vids within one length of the screen (if that makes sense) so you can't scroll away.
Not to mention this probably affects epileptic folks from time to time. This kinda shit should actually be considered as an accessibility/disability rights issue. Like there should be laws against these excessive ads and autoplays. Publicly available news and information should really be accessible for everyone.
Before you say just use AdBlock, I'm usually only on Android devices (cos by the time my slow old computer starts up my chrinically fatigued* ass needs to go back to bed) so can't use extensions as yet. Also Brave browser is my fave on tablet but cor some reason the app broke/stopped working at all when I had it on my phone.
Might have to use 12ft io more but it gets overwhelming/tiresome/inconvenient having to always do that like when I'm just trying to read an article from within/without leaving the Google News app.
When it's a shopping site, I really appreciate it when - if they have a changing banner - they make it so that the banner isn't fixed (at the top of screen no matter how far down you scroll), so I don't have to see it but it's there if I need to refer back to it and just have to scroll to the top.
*not from CFS per se, but schizospec symptom/side effects X autistic burnout
