Netflix displays Ads now when you PAUSE a movie. It's getting BAD.

    Shut the front door are you serious? What are those ads like? Little square ones or like full on videos??

    100% serious. The whole screen becomes a still image Ad for a product with a QR code fixed in place on the right side.

    If you wanted to pause a movie to read a detail on screen like I did, you get a full screen ad instead. It was quite a surprise.
