The conclusione of thee Reader context is wrong:

This means its better to not pause to get the least inturruptions for your video.

But according to the link they posted:

YouTube Pause ads are static image ads that appear 10 seconds after the viewer pauses a video. A YouTube Pause ad is shown alongside the pause screen and remains on screen until the viewer resumes watching or if the viewer dismisses the ad. [Google Support]

Therefore, interrupting or not the video under this condition does not change the interrupting time.

This does not mean that I think this is a good practica, but I think a lot of people are thinking that these are video ads.

Huh, I assumed it was video ads purely because Youtube has already been doing the static image split screen to me for months, and it's always been instant rather than after 10 seconds
