Facebook is set to annoy users even more with rumours of autoplay video ads appearing in news feeds within six months.

The ads are expected to be distributed to the desktop / browser version of Facebook first and then moved mobile devices at a later stage. There are similar type ads on Youtube and other websites so it is nothing new however it will still tick of many users.

The goal of FaceBook with this type of advertising is to try to lure TV advertisers who wouldn’t normally consider this as a medium of advertising. At the moment there are video ad’s on the right hand sidebar of FaceBook however they are quite small and they do not autoplay when you load FaceBook.

FaceBook have slowly introduced a number of advertising initiatives to satisfy shareholders including advertising of friends likes of brands within the news feed.

There can however, be a point where the advertising can annoy users to the point where they leave the platform.

Apple has recently won a sales ban against Samsung on a range of other products and was awarded over a billion dollars in damages.
