ads playing full volume please fix

hi there so today i launch boost and get jumpscared by ads playing with sound on by default. i don't mind ads playing muted, but the default being sound on is incredibly infuriating. is this a bug?

Isn't there an ad free version for like $3.99? Why not just do that? Its been so long since I've seen an add using Boost that I kind of forgot it was a thing
- because i don't mind the ads as long as they don't start on full volume, and i highly dislike being made to pay money to undo a change that was made
  
  Wasn't Boost for Reddit a paid app? I seem to recall paying money for it.
  
  Install Google opinion rewards and just accumulate the money needed to buy an ad free copy my dude.
While I agree it should be fixed. You could just pay the small bit of money for the ad free version and support the developers. I bought boost for Reddit and now Lemmy using Google survey money.
Vídeo ads embedded on the feed should be muted by default. Next time could you send a screenshot of the ad?
Why not use one of the many FOSS Lemmy clients with no ads, such as Jerboa or Voyager?
- because i like boost, that's why i'm here
- You're in the boost community. Not the misc foss Lemmy client community.
  
  I was aware... ?
Try a different client that is closer to the feature set you want?
- no
  
  well when you put it that way
