I HATE iheart radio if only because of the ads, I love a lot of the content but I would take the full force of the monkey's paw to the face to get rid of them
I worked as a board op when I was there. If I had the chance, I dropped audio levels by 5-10dB for commercials.
uh ... that's a lot, nobody noticed?
No one said anything. And considering how loud they often are, it really wasn't that much.
Why are you lying about this?
I'm not.
You just told me 5-10 dB isn't much - you're completely full of shit about all of this.
5-10 db isn't that much.
I agree on the podcast front, and what makes it worse it's for their own podcasts which aren't generating them any revenue so why have 5 minutes of ads 3 x per show for your own stuff. Not unless the other podcasts generate revenue through ads, but I doubt it, just getting you used to it for when it becomes a Black Mirror episode and you must watch your ads as prescribed by the government (aka business).
it's really a great bonus of knowledge fight, I can catch up on old episodes going from opening to closing to opening with no ads
I listened to a couple IHR podcasts, got supremely sick of the ads and deleted both of them. Now I watch to see the source of new subs and don't bother if it's IHeart.
