Consider that there are instances where it’s not practical to remove ads. I could get a new podcasts app with Sponsorblock integrated, but I already have the app I like all set up and I’m fine with skipping them manually. Some may filter through but so what.
Same with YT videos with Sponsorblock where you’re early and you’re the one doing people the favor. You have to listen at least part of the ad to mark the time block.
Or sometimes Twitch breaks uBO and you don’t realize until you’re served an ad and you have to wait for the devs to fix it. There’s no simple way of getting around it if you enjoy certain streamers.
It’s not that we don’t try, but not everyone is capable or interested in insulating their entertainment. There are many factors at play.
80% of the podcasts I have, I haven’t listened to because I listen to them at night and the ads being 50% louder than the podcast basically make them annoying jumpscares.
And I haven’t found anything that blocks ads on podcasts
Try Metrolist, it’s mainly thought for music but you can also ear podcasts and it’s totally ad-free, it uses YT music as source and it’s totally open source too!
No, they don’t, i think, i never used it for podcasts but you can just do a feature request on github or discors and they may implement it sooner or later

Nice - I see they have a build specifically for obtanium too!
Do they do a sponsorblock thing basically too? I’m not sure how many of my podcasts are on YouTube since I use RSS 😅
