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

    They’ve recently changed the behavior in the YouTube app so when you try to stop casting from your phone to a Chromecast (just about the only way I watch) you just sever your connection between phone and TV. The Chromecast will still be running YouTube and can be controlled by my TV remote. This death grip on the pixels on my screens is just… Sad.

      Sony is doing this on their new Bravia line. The images are horrible. I took a big ass tv back for my money. All they want is to control and filter to “better”. It is not better.

    Especially annoying as more educational stuff is put online. You pause to look at a graph and surprise you can’t.
