YouTube on TVs is cramming ads down your throat even when pausing videos (www.androidauthority.com)

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.
