My thoughts exactly.

Which websites does this actually affect? I use GrapheneOS and I've yet to be affected by this, granted I don't use many mainstream services.

This brought a smile to my face

I believe specifically designed to take advantage of security hardware only available on Pixels. Don't think it has to do with being Google fanboys necessarily.

Did you just make up an imaginary person to hate?

I don't understand what your reasoning is for making that statement.

What does that even mean

I run my own instance of SearX. Very reliable.

It is very hard to maintain the profitability of a podcast. To get around adblockers, many podcasters have taken to editing the ads into the podcast before the podcast is uploaded to any platform. I suspect this may be the case for some of the instances you mention. These ads are not added by Spotify or any third party. The podcaster either does a sponsored ad-read or receives the audio/video for the ad from a sponsor and adds it to the podcast in post. Not much you can do at that point other than watch the cast on YouTube and use SponsorBlock.

You can install the Google Camera app and get those.
