I literally wrote this app - STFUAI Podcasts - SPECIFICALLY because the Shopify podcast ads pissed me off so much. ಠ_ಠ
"STFUAI Podcasts" is an actual ad-blocker for podcasts. If you have an Android phone, it's free at https://t.co/l6asX4nUHL
I built it because nobody else had, and I just really wanted it to exist, y'know? - For me. - But I was so jazzed about it that I published it for free. There are paid tiers, but all they do is add more daily podcast-episode-analyses and improve the analysis intelligence a bit. It's not necessary to pay anything - ever. Still functions as a perfectly normal podcast app with all the features you'd expect, PLUS blocks ads in a certain number of podcast episodes each day, without you ever paying a dime.
And for the record, it doesn't hurt creators' metrics or revenue. I wrote a bit about how that works in the FAQ: https://t.co/IYvHJNzpBc
Sorry for the random reply, just wanted to share. ^_^

@HumansNoContext Because some random woman doesn't know how to use a phone? ROFL
"It's too complicated" said the iPhone user who couldn't get their phone to do something and so assumed it's impossible.
@MrTryst@HumansNoContext My android is $2k and can do things you'd get Steve Jobs coming after your nuts for thinking of doing on your lil' Mattel iPhone.
I'm happy to share that, although I find a lot of the rest of the Portal deeply problematic still, they did in fact very quickly remove this infographic back in 2020. That was the right decision.
That said, this obviously also has serious racist implications toward non-white people. As the article linked below points out, the implication seems to be that non-white cultures do not - or even cannot - value individual responsibility, self reliance, family, a strong work ethic, or be on time or forward thinking.
I have to confess, I worry that the primary reason it was removed is because of THOSE implications - and not because of how patronizing and racist and stereotyping it is about the many and highly varied groups of culturally diverse people whose skin color is considered white.

The people I agree with politically, are making it REALLY DIFFICULT to have reasonable and respectful conversations with the people I disagree with, and that... that's pretty much what's going on with the states right now.
