Podcast ads can be some of the most acceptable, when it’s the hosts reading about products they might’ve used / didn’t mind using.
If a quick “sub to Audible” is the difference between a Patreon paywall / content unavailable & free listening, well, make it quick pls 😉
sidebar - shoutout styropyro for some ad for a science desk where he lit the one he got free on fire. Sponsorblockers missed a fun segment there (arguably making up for it with less dubious supplement spam of course)
Edit: that might not be the exact video but it’s awesome
Top comment on that video was “happy to see your okay”, and the person who replied to your comment here shared a similar sentiment. Is there reason for this guy’s viewers to worry he might not be okay, or is it just a case of someone not posting for a long time between videos?
Edit: in the first three minutes of that linked video, he says “it’s actually kinda funny that I’m even allowed to own this”. I think I get why people worry now
Edit 2: I also just saw that his previous video outlines illness stuff. I haven’t watched that video, but the top comment was roughly “a scan costing twice as much if you have insurance is criminal”, so I think I get the gist on the shape of illness stress he’s been facing
YouTuber Drake reveals a complicated and ongoing health situation, starting with unexpectedly high testosterone levels, leading to numerous tests, insurance company disputes, a potential liver disease diagnosis after years of abnormal blood markers, and a temporary redirection of his focus from creating his typical YouTube videos to pursuing personal passions like storm chasing, while assuring fans of his eventual return.
There should be a huge collection (I called it a book or catalog at the time because the Internet wasn’t widely available yet) that does all the different companies that do X things or provide Y service (kinda like yellow pages, but with more information than just a phone number) that is filterable in tons of ways (by default, region) and if you need or want anything you just look up who provides it and make your decision by the information available there.
But it should stay contained in that book (or whatever form it takes) and legally not be allowed outside of it. Every other piece of “free” content (podcasts, and people you find interesting) should actually be free.
FUCK ADS!

Yes, poor guy, something like -
I take it you’ve not seen any of his videos? He plays around with incredibly powerful lasers and electronics etc
It’s a relief when stryopyro uploads, because that means he is still alive.
I’ve said this since being a kid in the 90s.

But capitalism.
