    I bought an ad on a podcast to tell people I had nothing to sell and how much I hate ads. They were running a discount. I wouldn’t have paid full price, but it amused me to do it at the discounted rate.

        I think it was $150. Here’s the copy:

        Hello Listeners!
        
        This is not an ad. Grumpy Old Geeks are selling ads at a discount, so I bought this slot. I have no product or service to sell.
        
        I hate ads. Don't you hate ads? I just saved you from having to hear or skip an ad! You're welcome!
        
        If you aren't running an ad-blocker in your browser… what's wrong with you?! If you aren't subscribed to GoG to avoid ads via the private feed… that's your call. But I'll never hear this because my stream is ad-free. I never thought I'd pay for marketing, but this seemed like a fun idea. Also, check out the fediverse.
        
        Deliveroo, Fuckers!
        
        Love,
        Your pal, another listener.
