minus-squareSnapz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·1 天前It’s a problem. Also reports of some reviews that do have mute buttons, but the functionality gets selectively disabled - I.e. on the YouTube app, pressing mute will pause an ad, but not mute. The point is to force you to complete watching ads.
