Drag and drag’s friends have all been listening to a new podcast lately. One of drag’s friends is an iPhone user, and bot only just got around to listening to episode 1 of the podcast today. Except… bot didn’t.
Drag sent thing a link to the podcast on Spotify, which drag and the rest of us use, but bot decided to use Apple Podcasts instead. Bot told the show to play from oldest to newest. So naturally, Apple decided to start on Season 7 Episode 1, and cover the season indicator with an ad, so bot thought bot was on season 1.
This is atrocious. What kind of app covers its own important information with ads? Bot’s been given a bunch of spoilers and had no way of knowing, except for the fact bot should have known not to trust Apple.
Drag hopes that nobody ever uses that terrible app again. Drag was looking forward to vicariously experiencing the early episodes through thing and talking about the show with ALL of drag’s friends. Now it looks like that might not happen. Drag’s furious.
Dunno if you can really complain, when you use Spotify
Where are there ads in Apple Podcasts? I’ve never seen some. The season info is clearly shown wherever it’s relevant.
Drag spoke to thing and bot said bot explained the problem badly. The ad wasn’t covering the season indicator, it was above the season indicator. Those are both “on top”.
Bot ignored the season indicator because bot was too autistic to tell the season indicator wasn’t part of the ad. Drag feels embarrassed and misled. Bot saw this post and didn’t explain the misunderstanding until drag asked about your comment, so drag is very confused.
Drag doesn’t know. Drag was baffled by this story too. Bot said the ad was new. Drag will ask bot to explain
