    IMO, the worst is pausing my media to play an ad in an unrelated application.

    No matter what I try, I can’t get my music to play over the ad. I can silence the ad, go to my player, hit play to resume the music, and as soon as I flip back to the app playing the ad, the music pauses. So I have three choices: uninstall this shit, listen to silence until the ad is over, or listen to the ad.

    Do not know how many times I’ve been driving down the road peacefully listening to an audiobook when my family or friends start a conversation in a group chat that pings every 3 to 10 seconds with new replies or notifications that someone “loved” a comment or some shit.

    My phone: “The truth was evident all along. In fact, the killer was…” PING … “evident all along…” PING… “evident all along. In fact,…” PING… “evident all along. In fact, the killer was right under…” PING

    Me: “For the love of God, SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

    Phone: PING

    My phone: “we paused your music/video because you clicked on another video/song/sound clip and we don’t want you to get overwhelmed by multiple audio streams”

    My computer: “HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER! LET’S PLAY 57.5 MOVIES AT THE SAME TIME WHILE WE LISTEN TO THE NATURAL SOUNDS OF TRASH COMPACTORS AND WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT SAWING YOUR COCK OFF, BITCH!”

        Nothing to do with auto play. My phone gets upset if I try to have more than one audio source open at a time, regardless of intent (I have to install an app and explicitly state which apps shouldn’t pause media); meanwhile my PC doesn’t give a fuck.
