It was super fucking frustrating because to close it you have to be perfect on the X or you're gonna go to a video you dont want to see at all.
Now, they pull this shit covering up even MORE screen space with no option to close:

I still got 10 seconds left on the video and I dont want to see anything before its finished. I can't find a solution to get rid of this shit and annoyed that youtube is pushing little by little how much shit we can deal with before they do even more annoying shit in the future.
End rant
Does ublock/Adblock stop it?
Try 'Adblock for Youtube' if normal Adblock doesn't do anything
That's just a new feature that shows recommended videos when pausing, just like it shows them after the video is over otherwise. i think it's pretty cool
the second screenshot isn't an ad though, that's something the video uploader manually added with the end screen feature
Second one is a video card the video author put in them selfs
I can confirm that AdBlock and uBlock don't stop these, so it's not ad related. Just another annoying Youtube feature.

It's not cool. I hate pausing the video and then switching tabs, then I come back and by muscle memory just click the video again, but now this dumb shit is in the way. So I keep accidentally opening the recommended videos and it's irritating as hell. Thankfully I found a solution on reddit if you're using uBlock Origin. Right-click uBlock and go to Options > My Filters, and then paste this to your filters:
[code]##.ytp-pause-overlay[/code]
It'll remove this stupid shit.

thank you, even if it is the user's option to add this, it shouldn't be available to anyone. What a terrible UI design
edit: actually it doesnt remove the last 10 second one, welp

Yeah like someone above said, that is a different thing. The video author puts that there and I'm not sure how to take those off, sorry.
