But does it automatically include ads for mattresses?

That seems to be the reason podcasts exist to begin with.

Because of your comment I googled and came across the company Saatva. I was surprised to see that it is actually a fairly big company which had a revenue of $375 million in 2019. Podcast marketing must be really effective.

And now you know why Spotify is so gung-ho into podcasts, lately.

That and the payola for advertising your content on their platform[0] and the not having to pay artist royalties.

unless this is sarcasm, that is a glaring cause and effect error. consider that maybe already large companies are the ones with money to blow on podcasts.

I bI don't own a TV and blocked pretty much all online advertising in my life.(thanks to nextdns) However am an adamant podcast listener, most days it is probably the only advertisements that reach me.
