YouTube ads
Streaming commercial breaks
YouTube ads are the video advertisements that play before, during, or alongside content on YouTube.
Some are skippable after a few seconds; others must be watched in full.
The phrase often carries an undertone of annoyance: I keep getting the same YouTube ad over and over.
Premium subscriptions exist largely to avoid them.
