YouTube is starting to show ads on TVs whenever you pause a video, as first announced earlier this year by Google.

    Seems you are right. I don’t use YouTube native clients, so never actually ran into the issue. Updated my original comment.

      Respect to you!

      The only reason I know is because I primarily watch YouTube on my TV. People have pointed out to me that you can side load clients onto your TV, and they’re right, but I’m inclined to at least wait until my warranty expires before doing so.
