YouTube has been testing a new way to show you ads that appear when you pause your video, and it feels pretty confident about them.

    It wouldn’t be that bad if it played muted. Then again I haven’t watched ads in a long time

      If it takes over the video it would be. I pause YT videos all the time to read something that didn’t stay on screen long enough.

        Yup. Same here. Anyway, Tubular is a nice app.

        Oh yeah that too. It’s bad enough when YT does the thing where it pulls up suggested videos when you pause.
