Look, I’m a huge fan of most things Smosh. I love Board AF, I love smosh pit, and the try not to laugh series. Some things aren’t quite my tea such as Bit City, but that’s ok, it’s easy to just skip and go to a different video. Smosh mouth is one that I just wanted to like so bad but I can’t because of the decisions from team. It’s worse than watching a twitch stream unsubbed. You first enter into the podcast with local ads, fine, I get it. I’m willing to cut off the butt of the bread to get to the good stuff. What I’m not willing to do is throw away every three pieces because there’s mold on it. And that’s the case here. Episode opens up, local ads (always more than one), Smosh ads (optional), then there’s intro and the episode gets good. Then boom. Local ads just shoved in sometimes in the middle of a sentence. And guess what? It’s followed by EVEN MORE Smosh Ads. Ok. Fine. A little frustrating, but I’ll move on. Ten minutes go by and I’m ready to throw my kitchen table at whoever makes these decisions at Smosh. It’s ridiculous. I understand they’re not a big podcast so they have to try to still make money, but either cut ties or find another platform for money such as Patreon. I’m also aware that I’m complaining about a free service and also ads. But even through YouTube premium I have to hear Smosh ads. On top of it all, they’re not funny. It’s mostly read directly from a script. So I have to listen to dull boring ads every ten minutes? No thanks.
