It still persists :(

While it doesn't happen all the time, it can be an annoyance when it does. I haven't had the time to test this out on the LTT beta just yet because I forgot my password there. ^_^

I see the soul that is inside

looks like adware. Run malwarebytes than adwcleaner. 

Then you might want to check out chrome and firefox manually, the cleaners don't always fix the browsers. 

muh specs

it's https, so can't be an isp (lol at&t) doing this and likely not MIM

that's worrying. 

Ive tried to replicate it by scrolling through "what are you listening to" thread, but no luck so far.

Just as @colonel_mortis has linked, I'm not the first one to experience this but he wasn't able to replicate it so I'm guessing it's affecting less than 10% of LTT members in the forum

my guess would be that the server runs some kind of  object caching or some php accelerator and maybe once in a while  the cached code for the youtube embed script gets overwritten with cached code for the amazon ads  .. maybe they get the same unique hash / id and one overwrites the other?

 

// or something like that? i don't know...

This isn't a server side issue - the ads are completely independent of the posts, and there's no mechanism by which one could affect the other. I'm working on the assumption that it's a bug in Amazon's ad code, but that means there's very little that can be done to resolve it even if the root cause is identified.

@colonel_mortis so this happened oddly. Placement for Amazon ads have been replaced by YouTube videos. A song by Rick AstleyIMG_5894.thumb.PNG.f32408b0838ff908b6eaeecc3f997e8b.PNG

Just once, a few times, or reproducibly?
