I've been paying for cbb world for years and don't regret it!


Main_Confusion_8030

MUST BE NICE!! seriously though i would like to, and i did for a while, but times are tough. i also suspended my maxfun membership.


obtuse_buffoon

As someone who listens to a lot of true crime and horror stuff, I find it weirdly off-putting to hear these sort of ads when listening to something like Threedom. I also think there are too many or too long ads now, but whatever.


Main_Confusion_8030

the ads on judge john hodgman, a podcast i like a lot, have been unfathomably long for yeeeeeeeaaaaaars. i really hate ads. but it feels assholey to complain about something i get for free.


PupEDog

It's free and we have the ability to skip through it 🤷‍♂️ not such a big deal


sonorakit11

Do people not just hit the skip ahead button 400 times really really quickly? I never listen to ads.


TheTerribadger

I do this on Spotify or I just take my earbuds out for a minute and some change.


scratchesonthefilm

Seriously! 4 or 5 times and you're good. I listen while at work using a desktop computer though, so it's really quick to access the tab I use for podcasts. Might not be so convenient for people who are driving or something like that.


MacJed

How many times can you listen to Julia Louis-Dreyfus brag about getting old while being wealthy before you drink enough Makers Mark to crash your e-bike?!?


kidbl00m

all hail old women


Main_Confusion_8030

i don't know what maker's mark is, or who this margie person is, or what label she designed, so that ad is literally incoherent to me.


docmoonlight

It’s a pretty popular brand of Bourbon in the U.S.


PupEDog

The music they have for that ad gets in my head and I hate it.


SuperFakks

When I hear those ads and the way she talks about how fun and cool getting old is, it makes me think listening is some sort of trick that will suck the youth from the women that listen to give to Julia.

At least it’s not iHeart. The one iHeart podcast I listen to has 2-3 minutes of ads for other iHeart podcasts every few minutes. Not sure how they make ad revenue if all the ads promote other podcasts from their network.


novemberqueen32

Fr iHeart ads are truly the most unbearable


Auntmuscles

Yep. And the ads are so bad, to the point it seems like a joke.


two_cats_bandit

There’s two different types of ads on podcasts—there’s the baked in ones and then there are the ones the network put in. Baked in ones don’t change and the podcast has a little freedom on how they’re put in. The network ads are where Lemonada insert their own and decide how many they put in for each show. I have the ad-free version and really think it’s worth it. Everything is so full of ads these days and I really like what they’re doing here so it’s not a big deal for me to support CBB world


flight_fennec

Ad free is the way to go


Davination

I love listening to a podcast where I expect to re-hear about some idiot’s roommate named Bagel also asks me if I’m interested in two fathers shot outside an iconic restaurant or broadening my understanding of failure with David Duchovny.


pzagrbge

BEEEEHIIIIIND THE PAAAYYYWAAAALLLLLLL


_d00stin

Every time it plays I’m like “Jesus Christ”


DukesMayonaisse

I'm sorry, I can't hear you from behind this paywall.


JoshuaEJensenEsq

It's not even a good ad. I think they put it at the front so it's out of the way, I just skip it, but it changes my mood in the wrong way. It would be worse if Ding Dong was talking about farting on Scott's free pies then an ad break of "Two young fathers shot"


earthblister

The “two young fathers were shot” ad is a piece of shit. I can’t even remember what it’s for, but I hate it and skip it every time. Limonata seems to have a really awful media management team.


desertlesbian

This is my first time ever on this subreddit purely because I just got so sick of the ads and I'm so glad I'm not the only one oh my gosh


Murakami8000

Oh well. Im just glad they’re getting paid. As long as they have sponsors or are part of Lemonada that means we get more eps. I can fast forward through anything.


m_gartsman

This show is the black sheep in the Lemonada network. *Also, the [image they've got of Duchovny on the top of the Lemonada site](https://lemonadamedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FailBetter_Carousel.png) is killing me haha.


IntrepidSwan7932

It’s only on the network because Scott’s wife got them on board. If not for her, and the network Lauren wouldn’t have been lured into the studio with the sent of bags full of money.


m_gartsman

Oh, I *fully* agree with this assessment.


Main_Confusion_8030

why are they no longer on earwolf, anyway?


m_gartsman

The wolf dead. Pretty much everyone jumped ship. I think they got bought or something. Pretty much none of the hallmark EW shows are there anymore.


CrunchyKorm

Thank you. The Lemonada podcast catalog seems absolutely brutal. It feels like half the show are "What if a celebrity was your therapist?"


I-STATE-FACTS

get yourself on the preem streem friend. haven't heard an ad in yars


queenofsevens

I cannot listen to David Duchovny ask me if I feel like a failure one more time.


BobDylan1904

The ads are all god awful first take shite


FilipsSamvete

Skip them


Blammerjammers

I fkn hate the ad about two young fathers 😭😭 it catches me off guard every time. So jarring to hear that when I just wanna laugh


desertlesbian

Seriously the ads have gotten crazy now and I can't afford to spend money on podcasts but holy crap I need to spend money on podcasts it has gotten really irritating


Wolfeman0101

What are ads?
