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.

I mean if it was instead of ads that inyerupt the actual video I'm all for it.

I suspect it will be as well as the other ads.

Read somewhere today that all these disruptive technologies basically undercut the conventional competition and then slowly become them.

We are full circle back to cable now. A hundred different platforms all trying to gouge you for every penny you can spare.

Next up google gets good traction tattooing brand names on the inside of your eyelids. Or advertising to you whilst you sleep, or go to the toilet.

Still, infinitely prefer that to paying a subscription to a service and still having to endure adverts.
