In the Taboola links at the end of articles (and above the comments), I am seeing some auto-play videos sometimes.  They tend to cover up the left 2 ads, leaving the right 2 ads visible, and can be closed, showing the 2 ads underneath again.  The videos start when you scroll to them and will endlessly loop additional videos.  Right now the videos are for Home Depot I think.

Not sure if you were aware but in the past I thought you all had taken a stance against videos ads, and auto-play videos of all forms are generally frowned upon.

I'm not sure if they display on mobile, but on desktop they are showing probably 1 in 3 articles that I view.  Just wanted to make you aware in case they were not intentional.
