Adjusted rule, but imgix.video embedded video ads on other sites. But its hardly “legitimate videos.”

@fanboynz Thank you for taking a look at this.

Can you let us know where you have observed videos being played that qualify as ads?

From recent commit history, we have seen that inverse.com was mentioned, who recently launched an internal video feed that features short of their own content.

There are video ads being played in between these clips, but those ads are not being delivered by imgix.video.

Note that we support the decision of blocks for subdomains where appropriate.
