I've been spoiled by a decade of enjoying and hosting strictly #v4v podcasts that I have grown to have no patience for ads or sponsor reads. It's a total turnoff! Same with music since 2021 when Able and The Wolf self-hosted their album Stay Awhile on an RSS feed. And now, it's socializing on #Nostr.

You're free to enjoy the entertainment but it's balanced by your responsibility to support them.
