I don't view it as backlash. It's interesting and necessary conversation. I want to hear what the HN community thinks.

Podcast ads are a dream compared to the web - this will damage that if your product is even half successful.

If the same was done for TV on a mass scale then you'd sure as shit see invasive DRM in TVs ready to stop you from altering the stream during an ad break.
