A little bit of searching and I found this…Spotify Premium reserves the right to insert ads on exclusive podcasts, and ones that they produce/own. Ads will never be inserted into music streaming.

My best guess would be that since they allow ads for podcasts, they are throwing in Spotify pushed ads on podcasts they own. Do you happen to know if it’s specific podcasts? I would probably unsubcribe if I was randomly getting ads. The only other thing I found was people still getting ads when they were using air play, but that was a desync bug.

You pay for no ads through Spotify, but a podcast is sponsored they place ads in their cast unrelated to Spotify. I know how shitty that sounds and is, but it’s probably the only way those pods are making money.

When did fortnite become a subscription based system? Are you talking about the battle pass they have for a season? Or am I just behind on the times?

I was being serious! I was only responding to messages in the inbox and made the original post before yours so I didn’t see it. Sorry to make you repeat yourself.

How are you not going to give a shout out to your community?!

Just an fyi Webster definition of evangelism: the winning or reawakening of personal commitments to Jesus. The google definition: the spreading of the Christian gospel by public preaching or personal witness.

You might not have meant it like that, but I assume most people will take it at face value of those definitions.

I don’t think you will need much evangelism unless you are a christian based sub. Agree with all the other points though it’s not a if you build it they will come situation.

Not OP but the issue isn’t creating the space, but creating content in that space. Growing a community is a lot of work. Unless you already have some strong engagement and or a few people creating content it’s really just up to you to keep making post until the community gets more traction. Most people like the idea of starting the new community but not the work it requires as it often just feels like yelling into the void.
