Description

An infuriating auto playing video keeps taking over the page every time I try to use World Anvil on my iPhone. It happens regardless of whether I use Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. It has been happening for a long time and seems to pop up with every single interaction, from loading a page to simply trying to move around any World Anvil screens. Just trying to log this ticket has been rage enducing with how many times I have had to close this video.  

Steps to Reproduce

Use World Anvil on an iPhone

This my good friend is our true Ghost in the Shell.

We have tried many times to find why this is happening and we have grown to love it as much as we hate it.

It is a constant effort to find where this ghost is hiding since it is also appearing to users that they don't even have worlds open and it is COMPLETELY random.

You can officially consider yourself haunted
