And now they’re showing locked episodes, which drives me up the fucking wall. Seems to only be with all the podcasts that SirusXM is buying up as of late, which unfortunately make up a good chunk of what I listen to.
Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding

Yes! And the most annoying thing is if I add to My Episodes by accident, it’s impossible to remove.

I feel the same about youtube. I pay for premium, but sometimes creators bake in their own ads. I wish youtube would pay creators enough so they wouldn’t have to do it.

Use sponsorblock on YouTube for desktop or smarttube on Android tv

Sponsors often pay significantly more than YouTube. If YouTube were to match or exceed it they’d be losing money absurdly fast.

Those arent spotify ads, they’re the ads from the podcast. To my knowledge unless its a “spotify exclusive” all they are doing is fetching the RSS feed for you, not paying the creator anything regardless of your subscription status
