    The same with podcasts, especially geolocated ads or what they’re called. Here in Norway I always get the same fucking ads on every damn podcast, and they are horrible, like getting raped in the ears. At least I learn which companies to avoid…

      I bet i have heard the same add, even living in Finland. I live close enough to border so i get good mix of Finish, Swedish and Norwegian adds. And every single one of those are way louder than the podcast is.

      So much this!

      Since I use NewPipe and SmartTube, I don’t get YouTube ads, but I do get ads during podcasts and the geolocated ones are by far the worst!

      I have learned to hate Designer Outlet Neumünster, Shopify, and Danish paid podcast company Podimo with a passion usually reserved for fascist politicians!
