YouTube Will Start Showing Ads on Smart TVs When You Pause a Video
YouTube discussed its pause ads last year when it said it would bring them to connected TVs.
When a video is paused on a smart television, the video shrinks and an ad shows next to it.
Google’s results showed growing revenues in its YouTube ads more generally, with an increase of 21% year-on-year.
Google says its experiment with “pause ads” on YouTube has yielded some very positive results.
YouTube's pause ads are "driving strong brand lift results" and "commanding premium pricing from advertisers."
YouTube tried to spin the new pause ad format as "seamless" and a way for brands to engage viewers in a "non-interruptive" way when they get up for snacks or bathroom breaks.
So since Google is feeling pretty positive about pause ads on YouTube, the company may roll them out more widely once it’s done gathering data from its ongoing experiment.

iPads join iPhones in requirement to follow strict EU rules
iPadOS will now have to comply with the rules that allow users in Europe to download apps from outside the Apple App Store, uninstall apps preloaded on iPads, and select default services like browsers from choice screens.
The Commission's investigation found that Apple presents the features of a gatekeeper in relation to iPadOS, as among others:
• Apple's business user numbers exceeded the quantitative threshold elevenfold, while its end user numbers were close to the threshold and are predicted to rise in the near future.
• End users are locked-in to iPadOS. Apple leverages its large ecosystem to disincentivise end users from switching to other operating systems for tablets.
• Business users are locked-in to iPadOS because of its large and commercially attractive user base, and its importance for certain use cases, such as gaming apps.
Apple has now six months to ensure full compliance with the DMA obligations as applied to iPadOS.
