Re: ESPN
technically they do have a "yes/no" on the video player for auto playing videos but it never seems to remember that i've selected "no" as i'll have to change the setting back to no every few days
just happened to see this too, fwiw

Re: ESPN
The internet needs to be like fashion. Hipsters brought back awful 80s clothes. If someone published a website with general sports headlines, a few regular opinion articles, and absolutely zero videos or giant flashing headlines, I would refresh it twenty times a day. I want a 2008 website, not a 2015 one. Screw ads, I would pay a couple bucks a month just to get away from the ridiculous pile of [expletive] that ESPN is now.

Re: ESPN
Can we start by banning websites from posting tweets? I swear that's half of ESPN's page now. If I wanted to see what people are tweeting, I'd go to [expletive] Twitter. You know why I don't go to Twitter? Because I don't care to read people's [expletive] tweets.

Along these lines, I don't think I ever posted this here. I love The Berkshire Hathaway website.Maclowery wrote:The internet needs to be like fashion. Hipsters brought back awful 80s clothes.
