How is it ridiculous? The selling point of paying for a subscription service like Spotify is to remove ads, the free service Spotify offer is otherwise almost identical.
I would expect the creator of the content to remove ads and the ToS to say "Do not upload content that contains advertisements".
I find it fascinating that you're OK to pay for a product and then watch ads on top.
- mimon 5y agoIf the ads are being added by the content creator and you don't like that, the solution is to not watch that content creator, not blame a random streaming platform for supplying unadulterated content.
- plorkyeran 5y agoSpotify could require that content creators upload ad-free versions of their podcasts for premium users. This would probably require a significantly higher subscription fee to support much larger payments to the podcast creators.
- SecurityLagoon 5y agoPodcasts are generally accessed as a syndication service. Except for ones actually contracted by Spotify, like Joe Rogan, they are just importing them from RSS like everyone else.
- plorkyeran 5y agoYes, this would have to be a new thing which they did.
