I think I and they would certainly get along.
Anybody need a Patreon rant? I got one locked and loaded.
The low traffic stuff (niche podcasts, etc.) will usually only have an intro ad.

I quit listening to music on YouTube because the ads kill the vibe.

That is the one thing that keeps me awake at night.
Yeah, that YouTube app on mobile is insane. Not only do you have to watch an ad, it swallows the entire interface, comments and all. I can't tell you how many ads I've clicked just scrolling through comments and that advert expands itself into my click zone. Wow it's aggressive.

Probably just makes the ads more efficient and targeted so you don’t mind.

Social faux pas diary: was introduced to a new receptionist. Not sure why, as I’ll be out of their hair in 2 weeks, but anyway. The girl I know and like has been on holiday and apparently isn’t coming back. With all this information at my disposal, and seeing the clueless look in the new child’s eyes, I commended, “Oh, dear.”

The building manager who introduced him, and who herself is not much older, said indignantly, “What do you mean, ‘Oh, dear’?”

And there I was. Oh, people.

Too early in the day too watch that masterpiece. I can’t go outside with these goosebumps.
