So all you would need to do to make your autoplay video ad acceptable is place some of your content after it?

- ajross 9y agoMaybe, yeah. The point isn't to enforce some magical unicorn principle of advertising purity, it's to limit advertisements to forms that users are known not to hate. Users have been OK with commercials in their TV shows for like six decades now. So my non-expert eyes would expect an ad embedded with video content to be broadly acceptable.
- derefr 9y agoNews websites already do things this way (have a text version of a news report, with an auto-playing video version of the same report embedded somewhere on the page, that has a pre-roll ad.) I'm not sure how Google will view that—I think it might come down to whether the user was expecting the video version of the news report.
- swsieber 9y agoNo - people would have to be expecting your content to autoplay, and then it would be okay.
