One of the major problems I have with podcast ads, is the terrible timing of ad breaks. Certain networks have a tendency to ignore the pacing of their show's content, and break into the middle of a dark and serious moment to advertise some idiotic comedy show. It's tasteless and super distracting.
The other issue is that a handful of the shows I listen to that are patreon supported, are starting to introduce insane amounts of ads. One of the shows I listen to, always opens with 5-7 mins of ad reads, and then continues to have smaller, 3-4 min ad breaks throughout the show. It's frankly too much.
I've done my due diligence and left low reviews on these shows, but that really doesn't matter. I'm all for adblockers due to the seemingly brazen injection of more and more advertising in a space that used to use advertising in moderation.
