When I pause something, it's usually to see something in more detail. Throwing an ad there would be actively disruptive.

[joelconolly]

Remember when ads were just in the beginning and the end of the video and YouTube lets you skip it regardless of how long the ads was.
Good times.



No wonder those ads pop up on my phone when I pause my videos. Just another dumb YouTube features.

[Montyh]

That deepfake AI Principal story was actually scary as fuck. I mean ads are an inconvenience, but that story is pure dystopian life-changing scary arse shit, if people that dumb can do it so easily.

[giantasparagus]

Imagine pausing because it was loading slow then it continues to load an ad..

[realtired]

I read the title as "No MORE Youtube Ads..." and got happy for a second

[dhillaz]

The scary part about the AI deepfake is he was only caught because of recklessly bad opsec. Think of all the other scandals going unpunished...

[gruanger]

Nothing is worse than pause ads. Pause something for a phone call. Boom, something twice as loud that I have no control over blowing up the mic on my phone. Oh, or pause to use the restroom, ad plays, then keeps playing your video even though you clicked pause because why not, and on and on.

[HWK]

Ive never saw a YouTube ad for almost 20 years.

Imagine how much extra content ive consumed in that time compared to someone who is forced to watch ads.

Foreign adversaries....

The law also includes some guy from Venezuela, not the entire country, just a single guy....

[CavingMonkey]

The never-ending ads and not being even able to pause them reminds of the Black Mirror episode 'Fifteen Million Merit'

Me with Ublock Origin for my pc, Youtube Revanced for my phone, and Smarttube Beta for my tv:

"Oh No... Anyway."

[falcie]

When I pause a video, it's usually because someone started talking to me and I need to listen. If an ad starts when I pause I will have to stop using YouTube.

[Crazyq]

Ads are eventually going to get so bad that you'll have to pirate it to watch ad free

[KiaAzad]

I pause my videos to hear my TTS software read something for me. I don't want an ad start screaming over what I really need to hear.

[Artista_Frustrado]

i wish Youtube put this much effort onto actual Qualuity of Life features as they do for ads
i would love for some Bulk Editing tools for Playlists like removing/replacing Deleted & Privated videos, or being able to move multiple videos from one playlist to another. Or making the new Layout actually let you find the comments when using it on Portrait mode, how is such blatant error allowed to go live?

[timothybrown]

Sometimes I pause a video to read something or get a closer look. I would be fucking pissed if they played an ad instead

[RiftRavingRogue]

What about videos where we're pausing them to look at information being presented in said video?

[AcePlays]

There are already too many ads 😢
We don't need more, much less ads even when I'm stopping for a bathroom break

[Vonebor]

We didn't start the fire but with tech news actually sounds like a great concept given the way things have been going...

[averytucker]

I still find it hilarious that 10% of AI news is cools stuff you expected from one of your favorite Sci-fis. And the rest is just criminal activity news and stuff that's either illegal, questionably legal, and should be illegal but not yet.
