I'd rather see them on pause screen than interrupting the playback but because we can't have any nice things, interruptions will also only get worse.

Yeah, I guarantee you google isn't interested in showing you one or the other. They want the revenue from both. My only question is, if you pause an ad, can you get another ad in your ad?
