YouTube on TVs reportedly showing ads even when pausing videos - briefly

If you watch YouTube videos on a TV without a premium subscription, be prepared to be bombarded with ads, even when you pause a video. According to multiple user reports, YouTube on TVs has started showing ads in a new format during paused video on TV. Users on Reddit and X have shared screenshots highlighting ads being displayed when a YouTube video is paused. As shown in the images, the video shrinks into a smaller window on the left, while the ad shows up on the right. It appears that the only way in the future to be able to skip ads would be to go for the premium subscription, the prices of which start at $13.99/monthly for Individuals and $22.99 for Family, in which you can add up to 5 members.

Seriously @YouTube? You're putting up ads when you pause a video now?

I am about to install a computer in place of the fire stick so I can have an ad blocker... Your ads are getting ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/OT4JMduGTU
