That's a nice community, maybe we can spotlight it through out Community Spotlight feature. I'll suggest it!
In reality, I do a lot of learning for work (I'm a psychotherapist, there is always new stuff coming out and new certifications and trainings to take. We have to take a certain number of credits annually, and I always exceed that number). Add in keeping up with US and world politics and news... I'm spent. I need the maymays to zone out. Give me all the raccoons and opossums you've got!
Absolutely agree. My latest adopted dog came from being abandoned in an empty building and then transported for about 12 hours to my state. She was terrified of people (but loved dogs!) and spent 3 days under our bed. We put a dog bed, food and water there, and she had a nice "cave." We would sit at a distance and talk to her, then eventually she would sniff our hand, etc. After 3 days, she felt safe and started coming out. She still dislikes strangers months later, but is the sweetest dog to us.
I pay for Spotify for 7 years or so now and i'm so sick of all the ads. After every update there seems to be an: oops, sorry, you have ads now. Podcasts are filled with ads. I was just listening to a podcast where they shoved in 3 ads mid-sentence. How long until musicians put ads in their songs. I'm just so sick of it.
Podcasts will have ads no matter where you listen to them. That’s not Spotify inserting them, it’s the podcasts. I pay for a family subscription to Spotify, and I never get ads in between songs, not after updates or anything.
But it’s literally the podcast hosts choosing to insert ads. Not Spotify. It would be like blaming Netflix because you didn’t like what the characters are wearing on one of the movies.
It’s called dynamic ad insertion, and it’s the podcast hosts choosing to insert ads into their podcasts. I know this because I have a podcast with no ads.
It’s not Spotify that’s “giving them that choice.” It’s the podcast distributor. For example, I use Red Circle, and I can choose to insert ads through them. Podcasts have the same ads regardless of the platform they are on. It’s not Spotify, it’s the podcasts. I don’t like ads either…
I’ve done it. You’re not supposed to come up with a finished product in 30 days (although some people do). Mine was a first draft of roughly 55k words.
