That’s just not true. There will always be ads in podcasts, no matter if I listen to them or not; it’s how they make money. That’s not apathetic, it’s a fact. If someone made a sponsorblock for podcasts, it would help immensely, which is what my original comment was about. Blaming one single person for there being ads in podcasts is something else.
It is true that some podcasts make money via other means, for sure. I didn’t intend to say all podcasts, but many (most?) do have ads as the only way they make money. However, do you not want a Sponsorblock for others so you can have your cake and eat it too, just like you do now with adblockers? That’s how you really give them the middle finger.

I listen to a few podcasts that have no ads at all, so that’s also not true.
I’m not blaming any single person, I’m blaming the attitude they (and many people in general) approach it with.
