Most comments on front page articles are going off on the autoplaying with sound videos on every article. They’re not even ads so ad blockers aren’t blocking them. That’s just a bizarre thing to do, but it’s a PE firm’s world and we’re just living in it.
Anyway, if you’re browsing on Chrome on your computer, definitely right click on any Jalopnik tab and “mute site”. It won’t even affect your Oppo browsing and you won’t even know about the vids. Here’s a screenshot of what the menu item looks like. Happy browsing!

Remember when you could write a really good article on Oppo and it had a chance to make Jalopys FP?

Yeah, legal requirements put a stop to that.

The videos are playing muted to start with, is this just me or have they recently fixed it?

Can you do this on mobile? That’s the only time I really have an issue with it

Have to pay someone like that as a freelancer or something?
If that is the case why is anyone allowed to embed a YouTube video? It is still content.

Legal requirements, payments, and © infringement issues. That’s why Oppo is part of the Kinjaverse, and no longer associated with Jalopnik

No, someone on Oppo claimed to be part of jalopnik and got a press car out of it. Idk if they crashed it or what but that led to the oppo/jalopnik disconnect.

Precisely what they have to do.
And I don’t know. I think that may be handled on the Youtube end? It seems to me that lots of time linking to a vid fails if the poster has attached copyright restrictions to it so that you have to go to Youtube proper to see it.

Yep, that was part of the problem. But Patrick has also said that Jalopnik has to officially compensate someone that contributes content to them.

I bet that story would make a hell of a Oppo piece.

Does that mean people who were posted to the front page can sue for wages?

In the past? Good question. I suppose one could try.

I should email them and ask for a ton of money. They “published” half a dozen of my posts.

Unfortunately I’m having other problems with Chrome. You can mute tabs on Edge, but it happens at the tab-level and doesn’t persist when you close the tab and then open the same site again.

That's why they just browse Oppo, repost ideas and don't give credit.

That insinuation is outrageous!

For whatever reason they started playing with sound for me today.
