YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads

YouTube claims that the pause ads are actually designed to let the company offer you a “less interruptive” experience, but it didn’t tell us that its normal ads will appear any less frequently as a result.

I watch YouTube more than any other streaming service but it’s unusable if you don’t pay for Premium. Or have uBlock Origin. Premium is worth it to me though. I wanna support the creators in some way but definitely not through being spammed with ads every five minutes
