Dear TechCrunch

TechCrunch, please stop having auto-popup images and auto-playing videos on your site when you scroll over something or when the page loads. Makes your site the most annoying one I visit.

Vote for this and maybe they'll stop.

Dear user,

We need the money.

Love, Techcrunch

These are images. Not ads. Videos that autoplay when you are scrolling down the page and your mouse accidentally moves over them.

Techcrunch, please talk to an interaction designer. Or approach random people who dont read techcrunch and look at the annoyance on their face when they scroll through said area of page.

I also don't like this on Yahoo and Foxnews.com.
