I don't mind injected podcast ads so much, especially for smaller podcasts that need some financial support. What I tend to do is use a VPN, that way the podcast is in my local language, but the ads are in another that I don't understand. I get my podcast, podcasters get paid, and I avoid tracking and brainwashing. win-win-win

I wouldn't it mind it if I was on a free tier. I'd think some of my subscription moneys would go to the creators.
