Thanos72 Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 Your podcasts, especially the shorter ones, are becoming almost unlistenable with all the ads. One of your shorter shows was more ads than content. I want y’all to make your paper but it’s too much. I want to listen to the podcast and not have to manage it by fast forwarding every few minutes. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggsTX Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 (edited) Have had this issue too on Spotify. To be clear, it's not the in-show ad reads, it's the automatically interspersed national/local ads. They turn a 20 minute segment into 30+ all while replaying the same drinking and driving or credit card legislation ads ad nauseum. Can make for a terrible listening experience sometimes.

Hookem72 Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 Sometimes its easier on iphone to listen to the podcast streaming your car from the podcast app. I get the same Come Se Lucy spanish one over and over and just tap advance 30 seconds twice arrow on the lock screen and it skips it. Its the iphone app that does this. Youtube is better but sometimes locks up when people call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Burton Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 Thanks for letting us know! This happened when we first started and we had to adjust something. I will reach out today to get this fixed. I think it’s probably because of Christmas-time when more ads get filled than usual. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 Just texted with them. They’re making a change starting this morning. Please let me know if this works. We don’t control ad breaks, the company we use does. 19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are just after the pod casts only then you may be better off just going YouTube Premium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashtag Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 Just now, Thanos72 said: Another simple minded thought. No wonder companies do what they want. It was about the excess of the ads, not the presence of them. Do you not like all the free insider information you get from them on those podcast and YT shows? Do you enjoy the price here that is cheaper than every other website in the industry? That time and effort isn't free, bills have to be paid no matter what. Your personalities have to be paid no matter what. Bobby, Gerry, CJ, Rod, etc aren't doing this for free my friend.

Thanos72 Posted December 19 Author Share Posted December 19 Why respond if you aren’t impacted. Bobby literally requested a change to help because it is a business and he is trying to strike a balance. If you can stop being sycophantic, you’ll see that I’m trying to bring a potential deterrent to viewership to their attention. But, you’d have to be able to hear beyond your own voice to get this. The site leaders here are very capable of redirecting me if I’m out of line and don’t need your help policing others experiences. This isn’t the flex you think it is. ✌🏽 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Wells Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 Get YouTube Premium and Listen to the audio via the YourTube App or via YouTube Music. I don't hear a single ad that the guys don't read themselves. Free stuff is paid for via ads run by the app makers unless you pay the fee to the app makers. You gotta pony up your time or your cash, gotta decide what's worth more. For me it's my time as YouTube Premium is like $16/month basically less than penny a second per ad I don't hear given how much I listen to OnTexasFootball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 So they just basically reduced ads by 40pct. Pls let me know if it’s a better experience. Definitely need feedback on this because last thing we want to do is run people off. Note: we do not control YouTube, but we have some control over podcast. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want them to make money. That is one reason I subscribe here. I usually would not complain about ads, but OP is right. Some shows would be 3 minute ad breaks after 5 minuts of content. It makes not want to listen at all anymore. Thanks for taking care of this Bobby! Yall do great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps take a break and releax a little. You’re a magic 8 ball of retorts, username checks out. Angry? I don’t know/care enough about you or this issue to have any emotion with it. You didn’t offer an opinion. You tried to tell folks how they should react to their experience. I’d call it pretentious but I don’t think you possess the intellectual depth for it to be that. You’re just a keyboarder that likes to click and clack to hear themselves. One that I’ve spent far too much time on. #boring #wasteoftime Edited December 19 by Thanos72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
