Now that Finnish radio advertisers have found podcast advertising, I can’t listen to podcasts with dynamic ad insertion anymore. Annoying to the max as there plenty of good podcasts that do this as well

Advertising ruins everything.

@odd it’s the tracking and algorithms that ruin things … advertising as a way to garner financial support is fine ..

@JohnPhilpin I have nothing against promotion of relevant products, it’s just that they so often aren’t. Also, if you buy a product, you will still get ads towards buying that same product. If the algorithms were any good, you would always get ads for things you need, and don’t have already.

@odd yes, and radio ads are their own level of bad. I can cope with TV ads much better, but radio ads make me turn off radio immediately
