Like many, I really enjoy podcast, but fuck I absolutely hate the moment of prostitution where they start pitching me on their bullshit.
Look, if I value you what you create, I’ll seek out to support you, but when you need to spread your legs in the middle of a good conversation I just wanna turn it off.
I can’t wait for more V4V only podcast, and content.
That's when you fast forward ten seconds repeatedly
And then two back as you overshot, and one forward and now the 30 seconds I wanted to save has been wasted,
I feel this! I really miss the old @TFTC podcasts with ads front loaded. Yes! I usually skipped the first 5-7 minutes, but I listened enough to know who supported them. If searching for a certain product, I would go back and listen. @MartyBent love the content! Hate the new format.
Can’t we just have a cool conversation where shit doesn’t need to be shilled?
It is like you are having a nice deep conversation with someone, and then their eyes randomly glaze over, and they drop a “so how about that game!?” comment over and over throughout otherwise great conversation. Huge turnoff!
Start a pod. The Cryptosoverign Podcast. Be the change!
the problem is when you are listening but has your hands wet while washing dishes and an ad starts, it can be cruel
Do you think we'll ever reach a point where this type of V4V pays better than advertisers?
Absolutely, really it just takes one great artist who goes V4V only will do it and lead the charge
There is a list somewhere of mega artists doing V4V. Aren't ColdPlay known for a free album?
Random thoughts:
It's easy for wealthy to implement it now and again.
It's up to us little people to lead though. It used to be called community spirit.
A mentor of mine lived by the maxim, "Work the same for a penny as a pound"
I used to watch Star Trek. Everyone likes to mention the prescience of their "mobile phones" but more interesting is that money wasn't a thing. Perfect abundance.
Now I feel dirty… does it help if it’s open-source hardware prostitution..?
A little bit, kinda like being a stripper.
Well, at least there’s that…
My only sponsor is bitcoin sourcenode.xyz
That's why AVBpodcast is made without sponsors, without ads, without 'nudging' you into any product.
Allesvoorbitcoin.be (mostly Dutch episodes, sometimes in English)

A maxi by heart and a great historian as well. It is time Kim. Do it.
I'm planning more English language episodes as well indeed. 😉
Thanks for the kind words.
You should check out the Millenial Media Offensive. No ads and never will be.

At least you got some sats from them? You got them, right?
Ok but hear me out: timeshare coin!!
Same. Can't listen to most pods these days.
True signal! Thank you for voicing exactly what I have been thinking!
And when they amp the volume for the [ insert here ] ad and blow my ear drums, I switch off and never go back. Its a broken UX for sure.
V4V just isn’t remotely close to supporting the cost of doing this. Sponsorship is tried and tested and it’s so easy to just click skip.
Trying to change that with Zapwall. Less reliance on V4V or sponsorships, with a paywall measure that requires being zapped in Satoshis to unlock the content. See it demoed here:

Your ads are oppressing Erik.
Fair enough, your thoughts on doing them all at the beginning like lex, or are most sponsors opposed to that?
but try athletic greens tho bro. it good for u
does that go as far as not being a guest on the worst ones doing this?
I’m so glad I’m sick of Bitcoin content 😂
8 years of daily podcasts, and there is only one podcast promo I have ever bought. There is a right way to do it, but no one really does.
Wish those eight years had fewer ads though…
My channel is V4V only - I can't stand the ads, sponsorships, or pitches in the middle of deep conversations either
Any V4V maxi Bitcoin podcasters out there?
yess
podcasts are already a hard sell for me, i generally prefer reading text, but when someone also starts talking about how great [product] is i tend to give up, they lose a lot of respectability in my eyes 😀
Ad-free for a price.
Ad-supported for donations.
Then we can all stop bitching about v4v.
