IMO, the worst is pausing my media to play an ad in an unrelated application.

No matter what I try, I can't get my music to play over the ad. I can silence the ad, go to my player, hit play to resume the music, and as soon as I flip back to the app playing the ad, the music pauses. So I have three choices: uninstall this shit, listen to silence until the ad is over, or listen to the ad.

Either I pay for the app to have it without ads or I remove it. Both my pc and my phone are ad free. I watch YouTube without ads thanks to the grayjay app, which includes sponsor block. I removed Reddit when Boost stopped working for it. I don't watch sports because of all the ads. I live an ad free life.

For me it’s my grocery order app from HT Hackney. When I first installed it I could play my tunes while I did my order.

One day the “beep” started killing my music. Despite many complaints they’ve never fixed it.

In three weeks I’m self employed and it doesn’t matter anymore. Thank you Jeebus and Krishna!

why can't you start the music from the notification pane?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I can. It immediately stops itself while the ad rolls. I hit play from the navigation pane, it starts for maybe a second and stops again.

Once the ad stops, I can hit play and it all works normally.

Use Adguard DNS. Assuming you use Android: Settings, connections, other connection settings, private DNS, choose the option at the bottom, paste dns.adguard-dns.com
