    If pause ads are static, silent, and replace midrolls, sounds like an improvement for everyone.

      Not for me, often when I pause I’m trying to see the video content paused on something.

        I was just following a frittata recipe and my teen came in and we had a brief discussion on how overused video already is. In particular how tough it already is to follow a recipe on YouTube. This will make it impossible.

        Then again, they don’t care about me since I already don’t watch YouTube, because of how intrusive the ads plus the poor quality of most content. I subscribe to a news service, but I also stopped looking at recipes there as well since they’re effective at blocking print to file and bookmarks die quickly.
