I listen to podcasts on my morning and evening commute (in my car). I can skip forward 30 seconds, or back 10 seconds with a click of a button, so I'm baffled why everyone else isn't doing the same??? As I'm not going to buy the thing that is being advertised I don't feel guilty - it's not like anyone is losing out.

I have more than once bought stuff specifically from the ads. I'm wearing some MeUndies socks, right now, and they're good. I really liked the hot sauce subscription I heard about on the ad. And because I use the code they know which podcasts brought me to them.
