Did I miss some detail? I get the impressions from the comments this is some really poor choice for user experience as people will often pause to check something
But in my experience pause ads are nothing new at all and they start after the device has been idle. What did I miss that makes this different?
PornHub has been doing this. A little popup comes on screen when you pause the video for the first time.
Nice. I don’t care.
I stopped watching YouTube years ago.
It’s their private website, they do on it whatever they want. Right, lemmy?
You can run your own federated streaming service that will have no ads and will be free of charge, yeah?
Yeah and when someone needs to watch a video on CPR in an emergency get ready for a shitstorn
