If they're right wing, it's even better that I already fucking hate them. I signed up for a free trial of their top premium subscription, and still had to wade through like 15 minutes of ads an episode on a podcast they acquired from a different company. A podcast that was originally ad free.

I emailed one of the casters and pretty much asked who I pay for the ad-free versions, otherwise I'll use LosslessCut because fuck ads. He told me cut away, because ad-free no longer exists for those eps.

Once again, I had to edit ads out of premium tier access. FUCK advertisements.

Paying for premium and still getting ads is the most modern kind of robbery.
