Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads''
nepenthes@lemmy.world 2 months agoBut for people using YouTube to follow textile patterns, photoshop tutorials, repairs, etc. needing to pause frequently while still seeing the full screen is a big deal 😬
I use Ublock Origin and Firefox/DDG’s “view here”, so I think I’m safe…

The screenshot does have a “dismiss” button, so I suppose if you click there you’ll still be able to see the fullscreen video.
But yeah, those are definitely cumulative with existing ads, greedy fucks.
