this bug is happening again to me. the first ad pretends to be muted, while every other one doesn't even bother and it's a constant jumpscare

That's weird, the ad network is configured to start videos muted by default.

I will investigate further.

    Can't you afford $5 USD to get rid of ads?

    The dev deserves it. Hell, I'd "launch the rocket" for ya if that was possible ๐Ÿ˜

    You're a lousy twat.

    I've been using Boost for years since the dev had a "shitberg" site version.

    Best I can tell, it is one human that created and maintains this app.

    I โค๏ธ it. I believe you also โค๏ธ it.

    Stop being a bitch and throw the dev the cost of a coffee or beer. Shove your "should function" crap up your ass.

    fuck off? what gave you the idea that insulting me and then asking me for money (that i don't fucking have) would be a good move? "you're a lousy twat now give that guy $5" how about you go fuck yourself?

    you're really doing the dev an incredible disservice by insulting prople when they're reporting a fucking bug in their goddamn app

    This isn't healthy feedback for ads

    "Well then pay to remove them".

    If the design philosophy of Boost is "Provide a disruptive experience to users till they pay you money" then why would users want to trust Boost to pay them money?

    Fr idk why these people are even here. If I'm savvy enough to be on lemmy I know there's a bunch of different clients sheesh.

    Anyway launching the rocket is pretty cheap and helps rmayayo spend more time working on this

    Go to the about page in the app and report it as a bug then. I paid to have no ads and even i would suggest to you to use a different app that doesn't have ads because it's rather insane to have them on a free website.
