1. Hardcoding breaks any image changes done on dev instances or locally.
2. The relative path is bad, and there are few more instances of it. But continue as is for now, will file a ticket to fix this.
3. Fix caching.
- Only add for unauthenticated users for now. We can change that to look at premium later without having to touch `app/view.jsx`.
- Only show the ad after knowing the ad is filled; this prevents the invisible container from blocking stuff while waiting, or even worse, when not filled.
The solution didn't work 100%, only reduces the chances of happening significantly. So far, still can happen on hot-reload during development.
- Reverted 15bd26399f.
- Fix by just hiding the unoccupied aniBox
- Initially, we did a bunch of forceful CSS to make the ad tile resize properly when the browser resizes. This was causing the EU ad to display incorrectly. Turns out, that css is no longer needed after the BEM-style re-write.
- Changed the floating ad selector to cover both EU and non-EU version. It's probably still not the best given it relies on style rather than ID, but the ID seems dynamic.
- Instead of 2 ways to display ads (DOM injection + React method) and having both of them clash, just do it the predictable React way.
- Augment the existing React version to support tile layout + ability to place in last visible slot.
- Consolidate styling code to scss ... DOM manipulations were making it even harder to maintain.
- Removed the need to check for ad-blockers for now. It was being executed every time an ad is displayed, and now that we are displaying ads in more places, the gains doesn't justify the performance loss. Also, it wasn't being done for Recommended ads anyway, so the inconsistency probably means it's not needed in the first place.
Other known issues fixed:
- double ad injection when changing language via nag.
- additional "total-blocking-time" due to ads at startup removed.
- fixed ads not appearing in mobile homepage until navigated away and back to homepage.
- enable ads in channel page.
- support for both List and Tile layout.
