Was listening to podcast and got two ads that has buttons to download the advertised app(with gambling related disclaimer) as well as in-app pop ups.
I think it’s time to use my Apple Music included in family sub that I’m already paying for.

I’ll quickly echo the sentiment on HN: Spotify has always done this for podcasts. This isn’t new.
I think these ads are from the pod itself, I assume it’s harder to get by otherwise. Should payment be per-hours-listened?
Gotta recoup that massive investment in Joe Rogan somehow
It’s the fucking podcast itself you idiots. Bitch at the creators you love so much.
Podcasts can’t embed skippable ads with download links, that’s Spotify. Even if it’s Spotify podcasts, Spotify is choosing to show ads to premium users.
