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?
Yep.
In the mean time, on my phone at least, holding volume up makes it skip 30 seconds. Good if phone is with you at the time.
How do you turn that off? Its so fucking frustrating when I’m really digging what I’m listening to, so crank up the volume – only to have it skip to the next track!!
Ive searched the app settings and can’t find how to disable this. Its maddening!
Omg thank you. On Lineage, its under Buttons -> Volume Buttons -> Control Playback
