I laughed out loud multiple times clicking on links in this very thread, reading comics I've read dozens (and dozens) of times before.

Right? I'm confused. Saying "oh the ads are in the audio file" is exactly like saying that "the ads are in the html file."

It's not like the client app is inserting them.

I mean, I guess I can imagine an exceptionally-scummy podcast app, but that's not what we're talking about here.

Okay: Now define "adult content."

Sure, fine - we can agree on the hardcore porn. Maybe we can even agree on exposed female nipples?

This forum doesn't exist to get you to comment on news stories; it exists to attract tech people to YC.

It is not, of course.

Friend, it doesn't take superpowers. It just takes being on the same team.
