Same for Youtube for ages. But Yt has separate channels for audio, why can't they just switch the video channels off, if the tab is out of focus?
Ads. Ads are more important to them the anything else.
Ads don't have audio? That's news to me.
Marketers don't want to make ads that both work with and without the video. Radio ads and tv ads are put together differently. Ever listen to a video ad on audio only and have no idea what they're selling?
