Ads with full volume?

I just had an ad appear while scrolling through the comment section of a post.

No big deal in itself, but: the ad started to play at volume even though I put my media viewer in auto mute. It's night and I don't wanna wake people up with videos I never even wanted to see and even tho I didn't click anything wrong.

Is this how it should be? Is there an option to disable audio on ads? I have auto mute on enabled for my media viewer; why does this not automatically apply to ads as well?

I get that this app has ads to survive but there's always a nice and a really annoying way to do it and this is definitely on the annoying side for me rn.

If these annoying ads keep coming back, you could always pay a few dollars for the ads-free version of boost.

I did it and the experience is a lot better.

I mean this stuff does not incentivize me to invest money in this project. Idk if it's a bug but that stuff was really annoying and for no reason.

I do like this app, this is why I made the post, but you can't make me buy the app when I just had bad experience wth it. Makes no sense to me whatsoever. If I buy it, it should be for positive reasons, not negative reasons.

If you don't name the ad the app creator can't contact his ad provider and change something about it either...

Because I said I expect that if I mute media then that includes ads. If you think my assumptions are wrong then that makes sense, but what you're saying shouldn't matter for that.
