Pause ads seem much less annoying than regular ads so sure, do that, don’t care when the show is paused
I was subscribed to paramount+ for Star Trek, and occasionally I’d pause to catch Easter eggs or read something on the screen, get a better look at a ship, etc - but all I could see was a shirtless man selling me old spice. It was actually really frustrating.
They seem less annoying now. Just wait until you have pause ads coupled with regular ads!
