Wait what. I know some platforms for managing podcasts like Anchor shove in ads, sometimes even mid sentence, but this is the first I hear of Spotify itself inserting them

This is what made a lot of people I know stop using Spotify for podcasts.

My coworker told me they were listening to a podcast, and while the podcasts host were mid ad read for their sponsor, Spotify put an ad in. So he got an ad during an ad.

Can confirm. I got annoyed with it and moved away from Spotify for podcasts a year or two ago. #NoRegrets

Yeah even on free I never got a Spotify add on a podcast. Those were the podcasts themselves putting ads in.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
