Soon: when you pause a video, it starts playing a video ad with audio, to make sure no silence time gets wasted from your speakers.
-
And your speakers are on subscription plans that charge you for every second that they play noise. Better upgrade to the next tier if you want to listen to anything else!

That's fine, the ad co struck a deal with speaker co to not bill for those sound-seconds.
-
-
There is also a tax on when the speakers are not in use.

Imagine if they pulled that on the idle timeout pause screen too...
