How to turn off "Suggested: ..." video pop-ups in the YouTube android app? I don't know if this is something new or I've only just started to notice it but very often a few seconds into most YouTube videos viewed on the app I'm finding an annoying white box with a letter "i" in a circle pops up, promoting some other video. It's possible to swipe it away, but that is also distracting and several times I've been hit by more than one of these in the same video.

Is there any way to turn this off? 

I've looked through the app settings but couldn't find anything. I've already got all YouTube notifications turned off, and it seems to be unrelated to the "info" that some video creators add.

Here's an example of what it looks like:
These are Youtube cards (also known as Info Cards or Interactive Cards as described here: All about cards on YouTube and here: How To Setup and Use Youtube Info / Interactive Cards.

There are inserted into the videos by owners to (for marketing, advertising or information etc)  the viewer.

As described on the support page: 


  You can choose which apps and websites show cards in your feed, and
  you can turn off cards from apps and websites at any time. You can
  also get more personalized cards by letting Google learn which apps
  and websites you use most.


The fix: Turning off cards from apps &amp; websites

On your Android phone or tablet:


Open the Google app Google Search.
At the top left, tap Menu Menu → Customize → Apps &amp; websites → Receive Now cards from apps and websites? → No.
