I hear more ads on NPR than before. Has their funding mechanism changed?

I also get the sense it's increased over the years. If you count all fund-raising time (drives plus the at least tens of minutes on ordinary days they push donations or giving them cars), promoting their own podcasts, and the now-seemingly-much-longer sponsorship messages (straight-up ads) I'm not sure it's any better than commercial radio.

They only get 16% of their funds from public sources.

No, it is still funded from listeners and corporate interests.
