According to the report, Spotify will raise its standard subscription rate by $1 next week, bringing the monthly cost from $9.99 to $10.99.
Or you use a good adblocker and then get extremely irritated when you once in a while have to listen to an ad ;)
If the ads are baked in, just hit the 15s jump button a couple of times until you get back into the podcast. The ones I listen to usually play music during the ads, so when I hear the music is over I know I’m back in the podcast.
Sorry, didn’t realize you were referring to promos that Spotify runs for their content. Yeah I guess they don’t have a way to turn that off, but it’s a simple button to get past.
Also, fast forwarding really is not a big deal. While I’m out walking my dog and kiddo I just tap my ear buds twice and it fast forwards 15 seconds past the baked in ads in the podcast.
You just gotta stop listening to podcasts in Spotify. They’re hands down the worst listening experience for them.
Pretty sure the only ads on spotify podcasts are the ones built in to the podcast recording, like the audio file includes the ads
At least i never get any ads from spotify listening to podcasts, unless the people doing the podcast have ads
Ah i see. Idk if i’d call that an ad any more than any other recommended playlist or album on the home page being called an ad
couldn’t agree with you more. it can’t be that hard to give us an opt-out of podcasts altogether. there’s been an item for that on their feature request forum for as long as podcasts in spotify are a thing
they just don’t want to
Tbf Spotify produced podcasts don’t have the ads baked in so you can skip them almost immediately.
