I don’t understand how more people aren’t being actively driven insane by the hell we have constructed around ourselves

    I was listening to an episode of a podcast on iHeartRadio (terrible platform btw) and I am pretty sure they served me personalised ads in a podcast episode which was new for me.

    I can only guess but here is what happened. The audio stream took a long time to start so they could be doing some preprocessing. Then the ad mentioned a local online store so it was localised for my country.

    Seems like iHeartRadio podcasts are 40% ads and half the ads are for their true crime slop.

      Yeah, iHeart podcasts have dynamically spliced ads. In Poland I just get ads for other podcasts
