YouTube on TVs is cramming ads down your throat even when pausing videos

I wouldn't mind them if they didn't BREAK MY REMOTE'S PLAY BUTTON.

I was casting a video to my shield from my phone and ended up needing to pause for a phone call during an ad roll. Pausing worked fine but the play button on my phone was completely unresponsive after. Thankfully the shield remote still worked, but clearly play/pause during ads is handled differently than during normal videos and something is broken.
It wouldn't be so bad if they actually had ad breaks instead of stopping my video mid sente....... SHAVE YOUR BALLS WITH MANSCAPE...... nce
yeah its time for people to leave yt
Didnt noticed it with smarttube https://smarttubeapp.github.io/ or https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular ;)
This is the way
Any investors question would be, why did this take Google Youtube so long to implement such a feature, of course this is why the ads are being crammed like this on Smart TVs.
good thing I use redacted in Firefox and apps that are cracked like redacted
