YouTube is making sure you never escape the ads, even when you pause
Briefly

YouTube is pushing its new Pause ads feature, which shows a static ad when users pause a video. This approach promises to be less intrusive than traditional non-skippable ads.
Oluwa Falodun of YouTube highlights that Pause ads have garnered attention from advertisers and users, implying they could offer a less disruptive experience while still promoting YouTube Premium.
Philip Schindler from Google described Pause ads as a 'new non-interruptive ad format' that users have reacted positively to, emphasizing the potential for increased revenue.
With the rise of Pause ads, free users may experience an ad-heavy platform while the clear benefit lies in nudging viewers towards a YouTube Premium subscription.
