    Of course you’ve never seen them inserting ads, they’re not a visual medium!

    (sorry sorry sorry)

    I’m in UK, the land of gray skies and bad jokes

      Interesting. I’m across the pond.

      I wonder if it’s only specific podcasts?

      Almost everything I listen to is from NPR or APM or PRX. There are plenty of ads, but they’re burned into the podcasts just like on every other platform.

      Maybe Spotify is inserting ads into the podcasts that they paid high amounts for? They spent, what, a billion dollars on exclusivity deals?
