They are ads that pop up in the video as banners, or play commercials. Sometimes ad blocks don't remove the yellow bar.

It's actually what prompted me to install ad block in the fist place a long time ago- middle of a sing BAM 30 second ad.

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Ad markers if the video doesn't stop it just means it wasn't a video ad.

That's actually something I dislike about content creators: they're always pan handling you into turning off adblock and donating to their patreon or subbable accounts but they just throw ads whenever they like. I've seen reviewers like the Cinema Snob that at least make an effort to integrate midrolls into their reviews more naturally: putting a pause on their script and a little picture reminiscent of the old movie theater breaks we used to have on movies several years ago. That's actually cute and I don't mind the ad.

It is for the time in the video that ads appear but if you install adblocker plus you can tell those yellow markers and the ads to "SUCK IT!"
