I pay for Spotify for 7 years or so now and i'm so sick of all the ads. After every update there seems to be an: oops, sorry, you have ads now. Podcasts are filled with ads. I was just listening to a podcast where they shoved in 3 ads mid-sentence. How long until musicians put ads in their songs. I'm just so sick of it.
Podcasts will have ads no matter where you listen to them. That’s not Spotify inserting them, it’s the podcasts. I pay for a family subscription to Spotify, and I never get ads in between songs, not after updates or anything.
But it’s literally the podcast hosts choosing to insert ads. Not Spotify. It would be like blaming Netflix because you didn’t like what the characters are wearing on one of the movies.
It’s called dynamic ad insertion, and it’s the podcast hosts choosing to insert ads into their podcasts. I know this because I have a podcast with no ads.
It’s not Spotify that’s “giving them that choice.” It’s the podcast distributor. For example, I use Red Circle, and I can choose to insert ads through them. Podcasts have the same ads regardless of the platform they are on. It’s not Spotify, it’s the podcasts. I don’t like ads either…
I’ve done it. You’re not supposed to come up with a finished product in 30 days (although some people do). Mine was a first draft of roughly 55k words.
