Turn off video autoplay and turn down ad sensitivity

The audio read option is awesome, great articles, easy access, but has a glaring flaw: settings. For those of us who logon to READ the WSJ, we do NOT want to have a video automatically play. I absolutely HATE auto video. It's distracting from the READING an article. Why can't WSJ make this a setting that can be turned off like 99.9% of other content apps???
