As a podcaster (Mixergy.com), I love this.
My listeners should never feel guilty about skipping ads.
If my ads aren't interesting or don't improve your life, you owe it to yourself to skip.
I keep working to improve my ads. Most recently: I hired a copywriter (Neville Medhora) to go over my ad reads. And today I recorded interviews with 10-second ads, instead of 3-minute ones.
- tantalor 7y agoIf your listeners use this app they won't know whether the ads are interesting.
- WiseWeasel 7y agoIf you read off your own ads live rather than playing recordings, there’s a good chance this app wouldn’t be able to differentiate them from your content in order to skip them automatically. I’d also expect listeners to be much less likely to mind, since it would be such a nicer experience than the norm.
- TurkishPoptart 7y agoHow did you find your copywriter? Just curious.
- throwGuardian 7y agoBut Andrew, they don't care if you put effort in to curate ads that your listeners might find valuable, they just want to skip the ads regardless. They want you to keep working your tail off, and entertaining them for free - they are apparently entitled to it.
