I’m a fan of ICHH, but my god, for an anticapitalist podcast they really need to lay off the ads just a little bit

    Criticizing anti-capitalism media for existing in a capitalistic system is literally the last panel. I'm sure we agree on most things if you listened to ICHH as well, so I'm not trying to argue or start a fight.

    But Evans has to eat, pay rent and deserves to make profit off his time like the rest of us. Personally, I feel as if you're falling into the "AoC/Bernie/Hasan has money and are hypocritical socialists" style trap, which is at best lazy and worst willfully ignorant of the context in which we all live.

    The podcast wouldn't exist without ads, so ads are a weird thing to complain about. It's the message that is important and ads don't diminish that anti capitalistic message.

    Yeah except I never said their arguments aren’t valid like the comic is suggesting. Nor did I say they shouldn’t run ads at all. All I said was the amount of ads is tiresome.

    For this comic to be relevant I’d have to have said something along the line of “Im not going to listen to what they say because they run ads”

    I’m happy for Robert and co.’s success, I just wish they had a model that didn’t rely so heavily on advertising, like some other leftist content creators I listen to.

    The podcast is critical of corpratism and consumerism, but they run like 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes. Its excessive
