YouTube has been testing a new way to show you ads that appear when you pause your video, and it feels pretty confident about them.

Just imagine what a website like YT would look like in 2035 without any ad blockers.
probably like other social media today. you don’t see anything you actually want to see at all, just ads, sponsored videos and stuff you didn’t search for that autoplays amd takes up the screen no matter what tab you are using
By then, I’m sure they’ll be trying to have a death sentence implemented for anyone using an adblocker.

Nothing is overlaid directly on top of the content.
Sadly it looks to me a much better experience than the current state of the ad space…
Why even show content? It’s the ads that people are actually here for! Can you imagine the audacity of people, wanting a little creative content amongst our cloud of vapid, capitalistic hawking.
