Yes, I'd find it much less annoying to have to manually click to play an ad, because then I can just not click at all, and read the article without having to listen to some stupid video.
Ah I see. This bill seems to only deal with social media / entertainment though (Facebook, YouTube), (unfortunately) not with those super-annoying autoplaying videos on news websites.
Yeah, those are the things I really hate. An ad on YouTube I'm not worried about, because I'm already there to view a video, and at least they have a "click to skip" button that shows up after a certain amount of time.
