    This article didn’t explain anything. I still don’t know what these ads are.

    Thanks for downvoting me instead of explaining it. Very helpful 😂

      It did explain it, I thought. Pause ads:

      the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it

        Thank you. I read that part, but it doesn’t explain what else happens. It doesn’t really give much details. So no ads all throughout the video until it is paused? Does that add disappear when I resume the video?.. Etc. Like more context would be helpful. Unless that’s the only thing they know?

          Of course it disappears when you start playing the video again. Some video sites already have had ads like this for a few years.
