Wow - and a warning. This article shows to me with the actual video that is a video - but a full mobile page before that, an ad that looks entirely like a video player, that opens a page looking like a full screen video player which _directly_ opens Apple Pay when you try to play it. That is some extremely shitty and actively user-hostile design. I have not seen this pattern before.
