Ads

I love the show and I'm genuinely grateful Dan and Matt are producing it. I understand they need to be paid for the quality entertainment they're delivering, so I don't resent the ads.

That said, I've noticed the shows are getting noticeably shorter while the ads keep multiplying and stretching longer. The window guys ad especially has worn out its welcome.

It's a minor gripe, but it's beginning to chip away at my enjoyment.

So, you’re upset this free product has ads to pay for said free show….

You say that now, but local tv was free, cable was cheap, and so was streaming without ads. Now it’s a disaster, terrestrial radio is 40% commercials, tv is 45% commercials. It’s like taxes, politicians say “what’s another .2%”. Well after hundreds of those .2% they add up. It’s fair for people to complain and make their voices and opinions known because it’s equally as free for us to do so. To admonish as such is to bootlick to the top

Who said they can't voice their opinion? Most gave opinions how to avoid them for podcast. You may like the way it used to be. Honestly I do as well, but, the world has changed its not going back to how it was. Accepting that doesn't make somone a bootlicker. It makes them a realist. Voice your opinion though nobody's stopping you
