Comment on SAG-AFTRA reveals terms of ‘groundbreaking’ deal
abhibeckert@lemmy.world 10 months agoYears later its now multiple unskippable ads on a paid service where we pay to avoid ads.
You must be listening to different podcasts to me. Those “hobbiest” content creators are still there, and they tend to have decent microphones now and have learned how to create fairly high production value content. Yes, they have ads, but they’re short and skippable (or even at the end of the episode) and you want them to get paid for their work right? Otherwise they won’t do it.

I don’t want them to get paid. I want people like me who are so passionate about a thing that they make stuff for the community. What I don’t want are for those people to not bother creating things because the whole technology shifted towards profit motivations and the space and tech was taking over by the 1000th comedian who is leveraging a free advertising method and selling ad space like they’re a NASCAR car. And no ads are not all skippable. No they’re not short, they interrupt, they infiltrate every corner of our lives and podcasts were popular early on because they were the exact opposite of what they are now. Now its just radio 2.0.
