Re:Designing an audio adblocker on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @03:15PM (#18859212)
That's a great idea if the injected ads are exactly the same length and always get put in the same place. If you have a 30 second ad in one download and 40s in another, 10 seconds of legitimate podcast audio gets interpreted as an advertisement.
Not to mention all of the extra analytics that it collects and submits to a google analytics account

Re:Octohub – The missing app for GitHub on Monday January 05, 2015 @08:54AM (#8838742)
