Indeed, but you'll still have to wait for the ad to play. YouTube can definitively win this race if they decide so.
- Buttons840 3y agoI agree this form of blocking will be less appealing to many, but personally, I wouldn't mind a few moments to just breathe, especially when I'm doing ad heavy things. Instead of blanking the screen I might instead show a screen that says "Is there something better you should be doing?".
