YouTube has been testing a Pause ads format for over a year now, and it's starting to show up for some users.

    It’s funny because I only hear about ads now from you guys. I never see them myself.

    Using freetube on a Linux media player connected to my TV and Newpipe on the phone.

      How did you get newpipe to work? It’s been broken for me for like the past 3 weeks.

        Latest NewPipe 0.27.2 installed from F-Droid is able to play videos for me. But you might also try PipePipe or Tubular, which I mostly use these days.

        It was broken for a day but there was an update on f Droid. Just installed that and it’s been fine.

          I’m happy he pays, keeps Google happy enough to not care too much about people who won’t.

          Their user name is making me wonder if they’re a very subtle and clever novelty account
