Diet Poison posted:Podcast ads all being the same companies really contributes to advertising fatigue, though. It's like how when you're at your parents' place and they still have broadcast tv, and you see the same commercial 10 times an hour. Does not make me want to buy that product. It doesn't help that every ad is for some lovely middle man offering a subscription service for something you should be able to handle as a functioning non-retarded adult. Let us grocery shop for you! Let us buy you underwear! Let us buy you sheets! Let us take care of your snacks! Etc. Its never occurred to me that I need a cash guzzling middle man in any of these operations because I've gone my whole life just doing that poo poo as a daily part of my existence.

Mu Zeta posted:The ads they sell on podcasts are bizarre. It's services like Squarespace (build your website without knowing html), subscription services to supposedly healthy snacks, and a subscription service for shaving blades. I think it's clear the demographic is ~25-30 year old male programmer that never leaves work or home.

The last time I bought stamps, I definitely felt like it was an inconvenient and slightly too expensive experience. Of course, it was also like 5 years ago, so it doesn't exactly weigh heavily on me.

Yes, nerds with a hobby make for the best podcasts, even if they use ads to try and offset some of their costs. You do notice a tone change when they go from just covering costs to trying to make a living though and it's not usually for the better. Sir Lemming posted:The last time I bought stamps, I definitely felt like it was an inconvenient and slightly too expensive experience. Of course, it was also like 5 years ago, so it doesn't exactly weigh heavily on me. Well if you're looking for an even more expensive option just use the referral code pod750 at Stamps.com. It'll be more convenient at least.

Diet Poison posted:I used to listen to Bill Burr's podcast and it's the only time I didn't skip ads. "I'm wearing my MeUndies right now! No I'm not, don't ask me to lie; they did send me a pair though, and they're alright." "Please read the following statements. Well of course I'm gonna read them, if you fuckin put them there, I'll read them!" Sometimes he'd get really mad at stupid ad copy and you'd never hear ads from those people again. https://youtu.be/sUaWkVcK4L8?list=FL_t4dyPk8Ikb61fvCwOsjvw&t=926 will forever be the gold standard for how to do podcast advertising.

I would imagine any artist who works in tangible goods, from art to quilting to jewelry to candles, would find printing off stamps more convenient given that’s more time they have to be at home and work/rest. As for the “middleman” services, I know of people with chronic conditions who would rather pay the extra money for a fun package of snacks or have a grocery service take care of shopping for them because poo poo like pain and depression doesn’t schedule around your wants and desires.

I get the adaptability and chronic illness excuse, hell better than some I'm sure!, but I've never seen that actually be the bread and butter of one of these businesses. At some point, that itself becomes a marketing gimmick that further takes advantage of those who need real help and not overpriced exploitative consumerist bullhooey.

Everyone wants a piece of that subscription payment pie. Businesses want that sweet sweet “forgot to cancel” money. It’s gym memberships writ large. In the dystopian future, literally everything will have a monthly fee. Hope you can afford your air this month, grandma. Think I’m joking? Look up what Nestle’s CEO thinks about water.

What percentage of the podcast-listening audience are in the market for that service? The recruitment company also seems a bit odd, because that also seems like a pretty niche market that could be targeted more effectively in some other medium.

“Bukkake” is a totally normal description for that dish in Japan but perhaps ought to be avoided in foreign markets. It’s the inverse of the word “giclée”, which some wankers started using as a fancy name for inkjet printing. It means “spurt” but has certain connotations in French.

The recruitment company also seems a bit odd, because that also seems like a pretty niche market that could be targeted more effectively in some other medium. I figured the recruitment company is actually fishing for people who are looking for a new job. Recruiters need companies because those are their customers, but they also need job applicants because they're the product being sold. I think Podcast ads make a lot of sense when you realize that the Standard Podcast Consumer Profile is a young professional with a long commute. For someone with literally no leisure time, even the 10 minutes it takes to drive to the Post Office, buy some stamps from the touch-screen kiosk, and drive back home becomes a noticeable time investment. Hell, I did Blue Apron for a while when I had my lovely temp job. The meals weren't great, and the price is fuckin robbery; but I could cook up the whole box on the one day I had off and have dinner sorted out for the rest of the week.

If I have my hands free, I'm going to skip the ad. If I'm busy driving or washing up or whatever, I'm not going to stop to write down the company and I'm going to forget by the time the podcast ends unless it's terrible. Plus I'm not American or interested in my own website in the first place. Still, apart from a few where I subscribe and get an ad-free version, they're one of the few kinds of ads I can't just avoid (along with, say, literal billboards and grocery store promotions), so I guess there's potential. The local podcasts I listen to aren't much better, probably because our market is tiny, it's either patreon with unreasonable tiers or garbage-of-the-month clubs on the ones I listen to.

McElroy ads are pretty bad, but their Jumbotrons are the WORST. Ten minutes of the show devoted to couples calling each other by their pet names. It's like being a third wheel even when you're by yourself. Their Totino's episode is still really funny, though.
