Regarding Personal and Commercial Ad Reads
Added 2024-01-17 15:48:49 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Like we discussed on today's episode, we wanted to check in with all of you -- specifically our $10 patrons -- regarding the ad-free version of the show. Right now, we're considering this a perk for the top tier patrons. Our main question is this: would you want the ad-free version of the show to include personal ads?
To clarify, personal ads would essentially just be messages and shoutouts, nothing promotional. While we plan on beginning to read some of the personal ads soon, we wanted to check in first. Let us know what you'd prefer!
Additionally, just to set expectations, we purposely capped the limit of ad reads for the initial launch, so there aren't too many right now. This is more a questions for the long term than the immediate present. But we wanted to see how everyone felt before beginning to read the ones we have.

Hello again! So just a heads up: personal ad reads will begin in this week's upcoming episode. For the time being, based on the results of this poll, we're going to keep personal ads in the feed for $10 patrons. Commercial ad reads will mostly likely begin in a couple weeks, and $10 patrons will get a commercial ad-free version of the show. To be fully transparent, we currently only have a handful of each in total, so we're still figuring out our own approach to them. But just wanted to loop you all in. So in short: -Personal ads will begin this week -$10 Patrons will get access to a commercial-ad free version of the show (once we start reading commercial ads) -We will check in a few weeks from now with all of you and ourselves to see how it's working and what works best for everyone. Thank you all for your patience! For what it's worth, the personal ad we read in today's recording was a lot of fun, so I think most of you might enjoy them! But we're always open to feedback so let us know π

2024-01-21 21:25:09 +0000 UTCIβm not currently subscribed to the $10 tier so it wonβt matter to me in the short term, but I think it makes sense to have the premium feed be just as the podcast is now, i.e. neither the ads nor personal messages. Folks subscribing to the upper tier who want to hear them can always listen to the public feed!
