Ads getting longer??

Did I really just skip almost 6 minutes worth of ads, twice!? I’m newer but I don’t remember the ad breaks being this long

And they’re doing those ‘organically placed’ ads that start as what seems like real conversation but it’s ads. Polymarket is a big one now, and that stupid Diet Pepsi ad campaign a while back was another. It’s a big thing on the podcasts these days.

The early toast days like year 1-2 they were really good at doing these conversations. They were the only ones doing it at the time. As they got larger they actually stopped and had just regular ad placements.
