So actually though how do podcasts make money, cos all the podcasts I listen to the ads are entirely for other podcasts. Is this just cos I'm getting served non-commercial ads cos I live in a backwater country where we can't actually buy smartbeds or whatever (NZ)?

It is basically all extremely targeted advertising. Pretty much any podcast with ads can have them dynamically inserted at certain places, and with how rabid adtech is, you can do some pretty specific targeting.

I don't recall any, but there were a couple of midrolls where they inserted some other random promotional thing for their own podcast, or the podcast network.

Using an adblocker won't help, because often the audio file you end up downloading has the ad audio baked right in as well.

Annoying to have to listen through iTunes (which doesn't have proper UI scaling apparently? Maybe I need to update it.) and it just randomly stopped a few times (gently caress you iTunes)...

But you did a good job there Jeff. Maybe a few too many "like" fillers but your are a programmer and operator of an ancient comedy forum, not a politician or professional speak word talk person.

I'd say you nailed it.

Get the patreon account up man, I'll toss in a fiver every month until we all learn that you like eating human flesh or whatever and need to find a new owner.

Edit: Oh, did a deeper dive and the random stops where when it tried to jam ads in. Either one of the ad blockers or script blockers hosed with it enough that its response is just to stop if it detects it.

gently caress you, I won't do what you tell me. Garbage rear end platform.

This could work, if there's a goon (or two) with great speaking skills and an ego in check. It's hard to guess who that might be as we're basically clowns who write.

Maybe a mix of history and some of the funniest recent posts.

If the right person for the job is discovered, they should be paid because it would be a heap of work and advertising the Forums.

Didn't they mention a Patreon at some point? Don't remember but I think they did. It's amazing what kind of poo poo people will pay money for if it has people talking in it even if they don't strictly have to.

One correction: The guy spearheading swap.avi was absolutely not joking. He just wanted to watch women poo poo in each others' assholes. I bought a CD from him because I thought it was funny at the time.

He also posted a picture of his own poo poo-smeared chest with the words "COMEDY GOLD" written in it.

Yeah but I thought they were jokes the first one was something about moving to ohio because they have "low taxes" and there were a couple others that seemed on the nose like when leftist podcasts joke that they're sponsored by coca-cola and raetheon.

Listened to that a couple of days ago and you did well Jeff, I appreciate that both sides were professional enough to avoid sliding into the Lowtax saga and kept focused on SA as this weird little clubhouse we have to make dick jokes and occasionally have fun.
Pity they didn't interview a couple more goons to get a deeper overview of some of the forums and how they each have their own thing but I can see how that may be too much for a casual podcast.
