I looked at some Linux podcasts before, however as good as they were they were also interrupted by shitty ad segments about products I don’t want to hear about one bit. If I’m remembering correctly Late Night Linux had 3 ad segments in a 30 (?) minute episode! Are there any alternatives without ad segments?
Become a patreon and get access to an adfree rss for Late Night Linux. Small sum of money for lots of great content free of ads.
I’d love to do that for a lot of folks on Patreon, however I have no income and my currency is borderline worthless.
Well, I can understand that - its a dilemma, good content for free.
I don’t know of any without ads, but I just skip them with a few +10s taps. Some also have timestamps, so it’s easier to skip them.
Doing that is not so easy when you download them onto your phone. Unlocking the screen and trying to find the correct spot, also sometimes they integrate the ads so deeply you don’t see them coming until they mention the product name.
To be honest I don’t really mind the ad segments and sometimes I don’t skip them. They’re really short and the rest of the content is usually worth it.
yeah if I’m getting to listen to it for free I don’t mind ads too much.
security now has 3-4 ad segments each 2-3 minutes long, I usually try skip them when I can.
Also on any type of podcast, skipping ads is disruptive if you are trying to fall asleep to one, especially when the ads are obnoxious.
