The smart thing to do with apps like this is to keep it to yourself, but inevitably someone will release one for the masses.
- rahuldottech 7y agoYeah, but ads on the web have lots of issues like tracking and malicious code injection, so blocking them makes total sense. A lot fewer people would be using ad blockers in browsers if web ads were as simple as podcast ads (the equivalent would be unobtrusive static images with links) .
