Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads''
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 months agoThere is an image in this thread with a smaller screen and a ad onb the side.
But overlaid ads are bad. Daily motion?

I just saw the image and it makes the actual paused video smaller (thus making it harder to read small text and see details in the paused frame). Also, ads are immersion breaking.

Yeah. Could be a problem.
Well, so is pausing a video

Pausing a video and seeing the frame you paused at is way less immersion breaking and context switchy then seeing an ad for a random thing that has no relation to the video.
