So it plays automatically before you even touch anything? If that's the case I'll look into that. 

What device are you using? That doesn't happen to me on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone 13

I don’t think it plays automatically. It’s very touchy and if you touch that clip it starts playing.

@Jordan Miller is seems like a nice handsome man, so I don’t mind. He reminds me of Justin Taylor from “Queer as folk”.... my fave character on that show  I support him

Yeah, I guess people are just accidentally clicking it. It's happened to me once or twice.
 

I totally get wanting to reach to a wider audience, the only thing I'm wondering is if YouTube algorithms won't interpret a high number of viewers instantly abandoning the video as a bad thing and won't show it in recommendations as a result or something?

There's an extension called "A D B L O C K" that you can add to your internet browser that can get rid of that. 

Kinda surprises how everyone is struggling with internet browsing.

while we are the topic of annoying things. Maybe it's been addressed but I haven't seen it but why are so many words, alot not even derogatory, censored? Aren't we all adults here? Don't you have to be a certain age to sign up ? Maybe not but I don't get why words like "s-e-x" is censored?? That word should not be something to be made to explicit. It's a natural thing. I mean we are all gonna find a way to spell out the word if we really want to. I'd just like an explanation. Can one disable child lock ? Why is the blasphemous Jamie Lynn not censored but a good old fashioned "IF YOU SEEK AMY" Is ? Make it make sense!

its called negative SEO, google it.

It never plays automatically for me though, unless I touch it accidentally  I don't mind it.

Ya'll just need a reason to complain sometimes tbh, it's a fuc*ing website I'm pretty sure there are way more important things in your life that need fixing and are internally pissing you off than some video on some website, honestly you guys, this is why the USA is failing as a country, with a bunch of complainers as a nation, no wonder

I enjoy the videos and watch them when I can, but they do automatically play on my iPhone like a lot of other people in here have been saying. If the autoplay could be stopped, I think that would make the forum more user friendly.

Bummer to hear. Right now I'm on the east coast. I literally carried my tripod, a ring light and its tripod, my camera, microphone, all the cords etc so I can do live streams while I travel. Only to be met with how annoying it is to have it on the top of BH. I know I can still do live streams with or without it at the top, but I want more eyes on these live streams. The feedback thus far has been generally great. Until this topic 😢 

It's no easy feat to hop on camera and conduct all you do after a full day of work. The live streams are great, and your hustle is absolutely admired and appreciated.

Perhaps a good compromise would be to only show the header videos on main pages and not individual threads? I know that would go a long way in helping the mobile experience for me. That way visitors to the site still definitely get their eyes on the streams, but as you navigate around the site you can have a cleaner experience. I'm not sure if that's possible, but I just wanted to provide some constructive feedback!

Seriously what is this? I hope you recognize the irony in you getting so upset at people going low (which, **** that I do agree), and you somehow managing to go even lower. Way to perpetuate the problem.

Even without you touching the video?

I think so. It's on my phone so maybe it's just fiddly and I'm hitting it without realising but I'll let you know the next time it plays. It only happens about 50% of the time but it's quite jarring when it does lol

this thread WAS A CHOICE. 

[Jordan Miller]

It's important to me to have Exhale's involvement. I am literally showing your guys' threads and encouraging new people to join.

Just want to drop some analytics for you here. These live streams are performing well. Look at the impressions in the last month. More than 1000% increase.

Y’all are a bunch of ungrateful h.oes

Don’t worry explain s.hit Jordan. Let them h.oes seethe. Keep doing you. This is YOUR site. 

[mhally]

I just turn off my sound and let the video roll. If I'm not using the 4G network I don't really care, otherwise I'll just pause the video. Sometimes I'm lucky and the video doesn't start at all, lmao. I don't really mind it's there. Get that coin, Jordan!  I'm more bothered by the Apple ad for Gimme More, WHICH I ALREADY BOUGHT ON ITUNES LIKE WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!

Appreciate you saying that, but tbh in my heart I really do see Exhale as OUR site. It's a community! Without the members it's nothing.  I just want these live streams to perform well
