    I literally subbed to a podcast using the RSS, and they feed ads through like most podcasts do these days. It started with two ads, ok fine that’s not too bad. It plays the podcast for 8:50ish, and then drops, not “another,” but four ads. It very well may have been more than four too, but during the fourth (sixth total) I stopped the podcast and unsubbed. Not only were there all those ads, but part of the actual eight whole minutes the hosts talked was them plugging their patreon.

    None of this was hyperbole, and I remember it well as it happened yesterday.

      There’s a few youtubers I’ve either stopped watching, or very rarely watch, because of the amount of plugging they do. I get that they have bills to pay, but some of them are ridiculous.
