Ads on podcast :( (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I hate to say this but I think it’s time I’ve got to start putting proper ads into the podcast. The Patreon has been haemorrhaging money this past few months due to the cost of living crisis and inflation etc. At first I thought it was something I was doing wrong, but when I checked the exit messages it’s almost entirely due to economy. Not much we can do about that here at PF sadly.

So, I’m starting to make enquiries right now to see how best to ethically do this with ads. I’m not sure when, but probably by the end of the year I’ll have to start adding some kind of mid-roll adverts 🤮. Don’t worry though, we won’t be selling anything dodgy like betting apps or fake mental health services or anything. I’ll make sure it’s decent.

Of course here on the Patreon all podcast episodes will be ad-free always, but I just wanted to let you all know. It’s been five years I’ve managed to resist it, but with the rapid growth of PF I need to make better money from it to be able to pay for all the projects we have planned. Sadly, the Patreon is now losing money at a worrying rate. So we got to make it work somehow.

Cheers,

Jake
