I started a free trial and cancelled it immediately to have no ads while on holiday. Didn’t realize they are offering some illusion of achievements as a “reward” for your attention, doubling as a FOMO weapon for when you want to quit.

        Yeah, but I don’t want to hear each youtubers cover over the same ad prompt. Plus the youtuber got paid for the ad read already, so me skipping a sponsor read is perfectly fine, I wasn’t gonna click their link anyway.

        Yeah maybe you are right but I’m not going to buy anything that I see being advertised so there is no point in me sitting through the ad reads

        Meh, I can fast forward ads on my tv so this seems similar. Besides some people are excessive with their ads so they deserve out right bans of their sponsors.
