I understand the financial crunch and how important marketing dollars are right now. However, when you have to hunt around the ads and trailers, and other miscellaneous revenue pieces begin to overpower the great content of the site, it just gets kind of annoying. Maybe I'm overblowing it. I dunno. Just a thought I guess.
They'vecut back a lot on the autostarts, particularly on the homepage. But yeah, unfortunately, you'll still get those other autostarts for at least a while because as you say times are tough.
