I do. And my comment related your comment back to the OP comment of this thread. Ads _inside of white noise podcasts_ being the thing I disagree with. Not ads in general. That's what the article itself is about as well.
You don't know me...
And if anything, your word choice and tone is extremely abrasive and drags down discussion. You could do better.
Is not a view informed by real experiences a more useful one than pure objectivity? Take the real experiences, subtract emotional weight/bias (as best as possible), disclaimer it with "based on real view" or however and I think that's a relatively well-formed useful piece of knowledge to disseminate. It is not an axiom, but a data point.
In this situation particularly, a white noise podcast is meant purely for the emotional pleasure of the listener. Subjective experience is _the_ optimizing factor. Ads interrupt that and are better placed where someone wants to be engaged in that way. This does not contradict that there is a _general_ necessity for ads. It's a refutation of this particular placement.
