Which do you prefer, TV series adaptations or movie adaptations?
  • One season per book seems to be what usually works best. That's why I think a Harry potter tv show of 7 seasons would be cool

  • I'll start. My girlfriend's cat never purrs or does the "baking biscuits" thing even when he is clearly enjoying the cuddles.

    Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice?
  • Since you are moving to Denmark: flee! Take a car and drive north to seek refuge in Sweden. Once you make it there you are safe, but you never know, the Danes could invade any minute. Keep driving north until you start seeing reindeer walking around like they own the place. Move into a cabin in the woods and never look back. The Danes can't reach you there.

    in need of any advice related to my career path
  • Pursuing sculpting when you dont like sculpting seems like a bad idea. Is there even a lot of jobs in sculpting?

    Why do podcasts have preroll ads now?
  • I guess so, but sponsors are easier to skip since that are always the same length. If the ad changes length you cant use the time stamps to skip it automatically

    Why do podcasts have preroll ads now?
  • No that's not it. As I mentioned in the post, these ads change based on my location. They are absolutely not added by the people making the podcast because they are not even in the same language as the rest of the podcast.

    Why do podcasts have preroll ads now?
  • As far as I can tell it depends on the podcast. Some have ads in every episode and some never have any

  • Thank you for the explanation. Kinda sucks that a premium service like Spotify doesn't even host their own content, but that's capitalism I guess.

  • Sure they decide that the ad should exist, but how? When I see a mid-roll ad on YouTube for example it was put there by the person who uploaded the video but the content of the ad is delivered by youtube. Who is delivering the content of these ads?

  • Thanks, that's good to know! Although this seems to be more related to sponsors. Like the podcast host doing an ad-read. I don't mind them as much because then at least the creators of the podcast are getting all the money and the ad is not tracking me to figure out what ad to serve me. What I am referring to is more like a regular ad that you would hear on the radio that has been stitched on to the beginning of the episode.

  • Oh absolutely. I understand that. But is Spotify even the one who is adding/profiting from the ads? I seems like this is coming from someone else since the ads are also on AntennaPod

  • I get that. But is Spotify using the same third party server then? Because the ads are always the same regardless of platform

  • I don't know when this started but I noticed it for the first time a few months ago. Some podcasts will have preroll ads that are obviously tailored to me since they are not in the same language as the podcast, instead they are in my native language and if I connect to a VPN in another country the ad will change to one from that country. They also seem to appear regardless of podcast app. I have used both AntennaPod and Spotify. AntennaPod is free so I guess they source their podcasts from some third party website that could be adding in the ads. But since I am paying for Spotify I am expecting not to have to listen to any ads. So who is adding in these ads? Can I get rid of them or am I just stuck with them?

    I heard Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world among others, but recently I have been seeing content from beehaw communities and users. Did they re-federate? If so, why? And if not, why am seeing updates from their servers again?
