YouTube plans to show ads when you pause videos -- what could go wrong?
Now, my sense is that when most people pause videos it's because they
need to do something else -- perhaps they just need quiet for a few minutes
and want to continue the video a bit later from where they left off. Even
though I pay for YouTube Premimum and don't see any YouTube ads, I can see
how pause ads could be enormously disruptive to viewers. -L
