  • Google appears to be testing a new way to show YouTube TV ads.
  • Ads are appearing during the previously ad-free “Zen” moments.
  • It is likely Google is just testing this for now, as only select users see the advertisements.

If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you likely have seen a “Zen” moment at some point. These are peaceful video clips that play in a spot where you’d usually be seeing an advertisement if you were watching that particular program on traditional cable. It’s a nice break from the deluge of ads you’ll usually get during a show.

However, it appears Google is trying to make these ad-free moments a new place to put YouTube TV ads. According to users on Reddit, some people are seeing text-based ads overlayed on top of the Zen video clips. In the image above, shared by a Redditor, you can see the logo for Progressive on top of the usual Zen clip.
