A character simply driving a Mercedes car is one thing. But podcast ads are more akin to a movie character entirely interrupting the flow of the film to stop and talk for two minutes straight about how great Mercedes is and to recite a series of specifications about that model car and gush at what a low price it is.
Transformers did it bud lite. The difference is one if meant to have a fourth wall.
I’m not defending ads, I hate them and block them almost entirely. And fuck spotify, their product gets worse every year. But its not spotify being shite to premium subs that podcasters have sponsors.
