I listen to some podcasts to sleep and it is infuriating to get even 12-45 (!) min long ads! I wouldn't be that upset with 5-10s ads every 10 minutes (as long as the volume level doesn't kill me) but half a freaking hour? What the hell is this?
If there was a company with clear community intentions and sound morals, yeah I would consider paying for it and support the creators. But YT that treats me like trash with their dark patterns and algorithms showing me stuff to hijack my brain instead of stuff I am looking for? No way in hell.
- crummy 3y agoThat's crazy. What podcast was this that had 45min long ads?
- badtension 3y agoDon't remember since I browse random stuff that don't absorb me too much as I fall asleep. The only thing I know is it was some religion related crap... seriously. Like a protestant sermon or something.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoI have seen ads that are OVER ONE HOUR LONG, often on long-form interviews. Am I really the demographic that "they"re trying to sell me late-night-infomercial bullshit?!? ...I guess so.
- mysterydip 3y agoSome of the kids youtubers have 3min long ads, multiple times, in a 20 min video.
- badtension 3y agoThis is much worse than TV, if you had told me that 10 years ago I would have laughed.
