What YouTube has is a preroll. Imagine if Youtube had a full page cover up on it like Forbes.com. That would be a prestitial. Websites can have both.

Ahh. So if I cover just the article text (versus the whole page) with a countdown timer, it wouldn't be intrusive?

well, in youtube main content is video. preroll BLOCKS access to video for first 5 seconds, so it's actually the same as page cover up in forbes.com
