I turned down two sponsorship opportunities for the podcasts last month and now qualify for ads from my podcast host. I’m not going to enable them, but I’d love it if you supported the show: www.thebootloader.net/support/
A screenshot that says: “We’ve noticed you’ve been smashing your download numbers recently, and we’re writing to let you know that you’re now eligible for our Programmatic advertising features. You could be earning money from your podcast by doing no extra work. You just click a button, turn on ads, and watch the money roll in.
