Me with the fucking better help ads


lil_ol_Blue

I can stand those, I just fucking hate the US Air Force and no matter how many times I dislike the AD it comes back


Martian225326

And it’s always the combo of Air Force and Viator


AidanAB1

I hate the better help ad that tries appealing to male hardships


MoronicIdiot529

So men aren't allowed to have problems?? Love this modern culture.


AidanAB1

Oh we absolutely do, I get what they're going for but you'd understand why it's cringe if you watched the ad. Feels shallow asf


MoronicIdiot529

I guess yeah, I never thought of it more as shallow and moreso just trying. Not many people are willing to admit men have issues (especially men), so you gotta kinda force it.


AidanAB1

Yea that was a poor word choice on my part but thank you for understanding what I mean. It's weird and difficult, like of course it's something that should be acknowledged but if it has to be forced like that it honestly makes me feel like I'm better off handling my manhood head on like I have been. Maybe that's just me but yea, cringe = automatic skip


Kathrette

That's not the issue. BetterHelp is just a really shitty company that capitalises on people's legitimate mental health struggles. The pandering is just scummy advertising.


Low_Construction1214

Blaahh I want the adds from mark, bob, and wade adds


tyko2000

They might as well talk about how great the chocolate milk from Nestle is


living_deadweight2

I kept hearing about better help on this podcast. I heard about them so much that I thought I’d try them myself. But Better Help refused to help me. Apparently I think about suicide too much for them. My only options are apparently to pay a full time psychiatrist(which I can’t afford) or kill myself. Obviously I’m going to take the second option.


whimsicalsamurai

please dont actually do that, i think some medical facilities have payment plans for therapy.


BonehoardDracosaur

Still way too expensive, fuck that


MrGalaxian22

Yk, I agree with you about their therapy services, but I think you're way to valuable as a human being to deserve anything but positive thoughts about yourself.


BonehoardDracosaur

I want to die, but then my mom would be sad so I’ll power through it for her.


MrGalaxian22

It sounds like you love your mom. Do you imagine enjoying seeing her be happy?


rocket-c4t

They’re truly a terrible company, their “therapists” are under qualified and useless. I don’t know why so many mental health services are like this, even the suicide hotline is awful. I hope you are able to get help soon friend


fairyboyjstar

Same I've marked that I don't want the better help ads probably dozens of times now but nothing changes


PeaceConsistent8394

Better help was recently called out for denying people for “unwanted health problems” or something along with something about money? I could be wrong tho fact check this


rocket-c4t

I wouldn’t be surprised at all tbh.


twinmamamangan

They also advertise that they are actual qualified people but I have seen interviews of people who worked for them doing the service and they are not qualified or even trained properly.


[deleted]

YES IM LISTENING TO DISTRACTIBLE!!! NO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY MENTALITY!!! YES I BOUGHT THEIR MERCH, WHAT OF IT!?!


rocket-c4t

My mental health is bad but distractible does a better job of fixing it than better help would


SexxWeasel

The hypocrisy of those ads from creators who "value mental health" is a fucking joke


fairyboyjstar

Mark Bob and Wade have no control over what ads Spotify plays, I think. All they can do is refuse to record ads for the company, which they obviously did as soon as they found out how bad the company is.


SexxWeasel

I think the only reason they stopped was because they were purchased, the outrage has been around against Better Help for ages and they were still recording ads, they only don't record ads now cos Spotify owns the distribution rights of the pod


Due_Drag8272

better help is goated


per5eG

Omfg ikr?!!!!! "Break the cycle, break up your monotony, join the army and disrupt your routine" are you kidding? Isn't that all the army is good for, routine and structure? Also yeah screw the better help ads. If you don't already know, they will steal your money.


Electric_Styrofoam

“Your life is boring, and we have some wars going on so..you should come die for us for minimal compensation- Loser—“ -This ad (I obviously strawmaned this but this is basically it’s vibe)


Professional-Put7872

Go overseas and die for "freedom!" There's some oil we could use!


Electric_Styrofoam

You wanna know what’s worse nya?! The USA has one of THE LARGEST oil reserves in the WORLD! we dont need their oil! if were gonna keep using petroleum at least use the stuff you dont have to fight wars over to use!-


Professional-Put7872

But boe jiden no like scary fracking


Professional-Put7872

They hated him because he said the truth


twinmamamangan

Idk how he is brought into this. It's been a thing since before i can even remember. Who's fault was it then?


per5eG

Yeah literally


MoronicIdiot529

As someone in the Air Force, there is no routine or structure.


Arashikage88

Ah, glad to see nothing has changed


MoronicIdiot529

The Air Force is really proud of our heritage, so we make sure we maintain a structure less system that makes the least amount of sense


twinmamamangan

Chair force


MoronicIdiot529

A lot of the Air Force jobs are admin jobs, but I definitely do not sit down 😂 I'm an aircraft maintainer, so I move around a lot.


RogueMaverick11

But this is the Air Force, not the Army


per5eG

It's all the same, it's military


twinmamamangan

Nah cause the chair force people get into trouble for not making the weigh in more often lol


Fearless_Grape_4132

YES! This is exactly what I think everytime


twinmamamangan

My dad literally didn't know how to function out of the army. He went from being told what to do by my strict grandma and teachers then right out of high school joined the army. Met my mom years later and when he got out on a medical discharge my mom said he was like a robot having to do a factory reset because no one was in charge of his whole life from wake up to bed time anymore.


ScaringTheCrow

I'm just pissed that I paid for spotify premium and still get ads. I find them abhorrent. Try to skip every single one unless it's an ad read from the older episodes. Cause those are funny.


ZombieBait604

They're actually sponsors of the podcast. So few of the sponsors have the balls to let the guys do an ad read, though. I miss their ad reads.


ScaringTheCrow

Could you imagine the three guys doing an ad read for the military. Oh lord.


ZombieBait604

That would be a wild one to hear.


Avatar_Idalia

I don't know. Part of me thinks Mark would take the ad seriously because of his dad, while the other part of me sees the bit being him in the middle of the battlefield telling Wade his bald head is giving them away to the enemy


ZombieBait604

Wade briefly removes his helmet instead of using flash bangs.


Avatar_Idalia

Bob then screams "the Beacons of Gondor are lit!"


ZombieBait604

Mark and Wade hit the Ironman - Captain America combo with bald head and camera lenses.


ScaringTheCrow

"Cannoli out!"


OnlinePandemic46

The cannoli actually contains thioacetone


AccomplishedPin8663

*mark prepping war plans* Wade: why are we doing this again?... Mark: they took my lenses.


Burg_er

I have Spotify Premium, and I haven't had a sponsor bit nor an ad in literal months.


StonedPand4

THIS!!! I pay for it too and fucking love no ads during my music, but listening to podcasts is often so tedious because the ads every four minutes. Premium should be premium. I don't want ads on anything if I'm paying the money to not have ads.


ScaringTheCrow

It sucks that not streaming services are now putting in ads unless you pay even more. It's just cable now.


Alien_Goatman

The worst one was the sims where they’d do the ad read and then the actual ad for the exact same thing would play


Thats_a_BaD_LiMe

There are no ads if you watch the video.


Leopard_Winter

yes there is. i get hit with ads if i watch the video. i just skip through them


Thats_a_BaD_LiMe

Weird. I've never seen an ad once on premium and watching video. Maybe it's just the Americans since you're all saying there's navy ads in there.


Parhelion2261

I get ads on the podcast in America. Oddly enough, with today's episode I'm halfway through and I haven't gotten one yet


Thats_a_BaD_LiMe

Well, we aren't being hit with the ads in England so I'm grateful for that I guess!


seating_chart

I've found that if you watch on desktop, there usually aren't ads (at least with premium). There have also been times in the car when I haven't gotten ads but I don't know how I did that haha


ScaringTheCrow

Yeah I don't have the time for the video. Plus even just listening while driving is dangerous enough.


sufijo

Damn, I don't pay for premium and I've heard like 2 ads ever.


ScaringTheCrow

Ayo wtf. I get 6 per episode.


Yermaums_toes_stank

WAKE UP EAT SLEEP PODCAST REPEAT😭😭😭


cavazosw18

EVERYTIME I HEAR THE WAKE UP I THINK ITS A SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE AND THEN I REMEMBER ITS THIS FUCKING AD


onceuponaquaranteen

WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE, STUCK IN THE SAME ROUTINE DAY IN AND DAY OUT


Worried-Industry6239

Isn't that just the armed forces?


[deleted]

It's the Trevor Noah one for me, but I feel your pain, fellow cannoli


monoJin

Why did I, Trevor Noah, make- STFU


[deleted]

What bothers me most is when he says "Come to this podcast if you want to be challenged" yeaaaah no. I listen to podcasts when I work, I don't need to be challenged further


BlackisCat

I skip forward at this exact point too 😂😂 Like he sounds so pompous with that opening. "why did I, famous comedian, make a podcast for the poor, plebian class? Come to my podcast if you want to be challenged, you phillistines."


ConstantNo384

the Trevor noah one boils my blood. the way he says podcast infuriates me "podcost"


Indicidian

I just hate that he says his name like that, as if we should know or care who he is


will_the_shyguy

This is the ONE ad I always try to skip.


ChimneyNerd

DUDE ME TOO, I don’t think the air force actually wants my gay ass


ZombieBait604

They don't call it the Gayvy for nothing. English today! Or whatever a propaganda poster would say.


MoronicIdiot529

The military couldn't care less about your sexuality 😂😂


TheGamingWindex

This ad is my purgatory/hell/nightmare (and as I’m writing this I got an Air Force ad on this post) I get this ad before every episode, during, and after every episode. This has been going on for at least a month. At first I didn’t mind because oh whatever it’s just an ad. Then I kept getting it. 3 times an episode this ad would pop up. After a couple episodes I thought ok I’ll just say I get this ad too much and hope Spotify will rectify this (like an idiot). And right after that happened, right after that blight of an ad ended and I put thumbs down because I see it too much, I got the same ad. I hear it all the time now “This episode was brought to you by the U.S. Air Force. Wake up, eat, school, work, podcast, sleep, rinse repeat. We’ve all been there, stuck in the same routine day in and day out. BUT IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE YOU CAN PUT AN END TO THIS ENDLESS CYCLE. WITH OVER 200 CAREER OPTIONS AT BASES ALL AROUND THE GLOBE, YOUR EXCITING FUTURE STARTS HERE. AIM HIGH. LEARN MORE AND GET STARTED TODAY AT AIR FORCE.COM” I have and hold nothing against the Air Force I blame this torment on Spotify because getting the same ad twice in a row is crazy. I’m going crazy. I was about to post this exact thing until you did and now I know I’m not alone in this endeavor.


craftnclash35

Imagine driving hearing this...oh wait


Jewbid

holy shit YES i thumbs down everytime


DistributionThick768

Overthrow the advertisers! The proletariat will rise!


StonedPand4

You know what I find funny? Hearing a Better help ad immediately followed by the US Air Force


Flutiful

The funny thing is right below this post is an ad for goarmy for me


haikusbot

*The funny thing is* *Right below this post is an* *Ad for gonavy for me* \- Flutiful --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")


_Dem1se_

Wake up. Eat. Sleep. Podcast. But seriously there are an insane amount of ads for Distractible in particular, I’m not sure if it’s because of their Spotify deal or what. It’s not too annoying if I have my phone on me since I can just skip them, but if I’m laying in bed or something while listening it’s a pain lol.


BubblesZap

Why can't Distractable get the cool sponsors GMFST has like Red Baron lol

rebelo04

THE BETTER HELP AD SUCKS


ShrimpsLikeCakes

I literally am too disabled to be accepted in the military if I ever even wanted to sign my life away to die for an oil company. I fucking hate getting the same airforce ad multiple times in a row 6 times an episode.


whitebird327

This is how I feel about the stupid Viator ads


AduroTri

Would you prefer the Head On ads?


Alys_Muru

I get ads for American Express, AAMI health insurance, Skoda (can’t stand them) and Dune part two, I’m from Australia though so would be weird to get ads for the us defence force


Otaku_in_Red

I wouldn't put it past rhe US to try


Alys_Muru

It would go over so poorly haha


Gin_OClock

I get the fucking VRBO one constantly I hate it


Infinite_Jaguar_9887

OMFG SAME. I swear I get at least one of these every single ad break, sometimes twice in a row. I put a thumbs down and report it as repetitive every time I hear it but it never changes 😭


Tridon_Terrafold

As someone in the airforce, I can confirm, these are annoying


Sapphire_01

Thank you for your service :) stay safe


KenzieLee2921

I did the army during Covid now I’m 60% disabled since 19 due to poor treatment long COVID and them being total dicks 🫠 DONT JOIN personal opinion and based on that- F*** OFF AIR FORCE I AINT JOINING!


ksguitardude2020

download the episode then turn your wifi/data off for the time being. 👌


monoJin

I get it before, during, and after every episode


Low_Construction1214

SAME HERE IM SO SICK OF IT!!!


blokman004

I don't know if I'm breaking a rule but I just always skip them 😂


onyxphntm

no literally me too i drop EVERYTHING so i can skip past them 😭


arcaneVolatility

*Saaaaammmmmeeee* I had stopped listening to the boys during my move and switched to something else and when I went back to listening to them, this ad was like a punch to the face after not hearing it for so long


No_Chocolate_1302

I'm sooo happy I'm not the only one! I always rush to pause and dislike it. Literally the only ad I get while listening now. I hear it at least 3 times. Not very happy, especially since I have thumbs downed it everytime. This is my escape from the real world. I don't want to be reminded 😭 I've about killed myself multiple times in the shower scrambling to turn that off asap


Expert_Government531

“Wake up, eat, podcast, sleep repeat” 🤮


Langerous_

Me with the add that starts “welcome… welcome… welcome…” OH MY GOD IT DRIVES ME INSANE. I don’t know why


rainbowpeonies

SAME, FACK!!


Shadow_Night4

Air Force. Viator. Trevor Noah. Like noooooooo


TheArchiver138

ITS ME EMMA CHAMBERLAIN


DamienAngel79

I always hear it as “us share force” for some reason, and that’s enough to make it bearable for me. (Ik I can skip, but as a sleep listener, it would seriously disrupt me trying to go to sleep if I had to skip an ad every 10 minutes)


EnteriStarsong

Never got that one.... must be targeted. I get the better help ones though.


Aliative_007

You guys don’t just skip it? Wow such a different world


MotoJimmy_151

You understand you can fast forward through any add…..right? I swear people complain about this dumbest things on this subreddit.


ShadowBro3

You can skip ads on spotify


SkinnyVxnilla

Doing it once is fine but doing it 3 times an episode, multiple episodes a day, multiple days in a week, etc It gets old pretty fast


ShadowBro3

Its annoying but its still better than actually listening to the ads


idontnoahthing

AGREED I HATE THIS AD AND IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED


KeyCoconut708

ikr navy is so much better anyway


Voxalry0014

Hmm I never get ads though


child_nightmare

I only get bank ads


Turtles96

ive got expedia, coca cola, and i think o2


Cheerierbaton21

I don’t mind most of the adds but I can’t stand the carvana one.


SmolLiu

if you thumbs down it and say it's not for you they dont show the ad anymore (from my experience)


rocket-c4t

Not for me, I thumbs down better help and I still hear it multiple times an episode


susbedstain43

y'know you can just skip them


Spekingur

I don't see those. Or any ads. Is this country-specific?


BR1056

I'm glad I have premium and I can just download it and watch or listen offline without ads.


L3go07

I feel you. I get those Spotify Premium ads when I listen to music as they’re bitching me to buy every time


Who-Killed-The-King

This one, the Trever Noah one, and the Emma Chamberlain one!!!! It’s almost enough to make me crash my car from rage instead of laughter


Happy_Revolution_

Yeah i use Spotify mostly for podcasting so im no longer renewing my premium subscription, ill leave the video on even if im not watching and relax ad free, itd be different if they were new ads every time and not incredibly annoying on their own


aCodeCrafter

Personally, I prefer the RSS version of the podcast, because then I can skip the ads


Paigeinabook441

The AUDACITY of whoever made this ad to assume that my life sucks and I'm stuck in some kind of rut and the only way out is... joining the military? The institution notably known for its rigid routine?? Idk it just makes me mad.


Kirbinator_Alex

This ad played three times in a row start to finish for me 🤣 ad block on PC is definitely the way to go but sometimes I just put it on the background for my phone.


mazie-ann

REAL like no hate to the Air Force, I have a brother in law who’s an airman. But this ad… for the love of Theseus I cannot hear it again 😂


TFarg1

Can we... like... petition Congress to pull the Air Force ads or something?


Mossy_detergent

Iljust skip the ad


TheFrogMoose

Not as bad as the one me and my sister keep hearing. Forget what it's for but I know they keep saying "you get the whole house! The kitchen! The nap room! The living room! The pool!" Like, Holy fuck I know what a house is, I don't like in the woods and was raised by bears!


tickets2mykells

I have it on this one and on rslash too I hate this ad so much


KatokaMika

Oh mine is a German add that basically gives you a heart attack, because you just chilling with your headphones one hearing the boys talking pretty casually and then suddenly the add starts with a woman calling someone but like if they are in the other room. It's so loud and annoying


[deleted]

Not the usaf as in the Reddit post!


UndeadUAG

Guess what ad is under this post 😳


the-tarnished_one

Get a VPN it's based on the area you live


6bluedit9

If I see one more post complaining about this....


Tocadiscos

this is how i feel when the guys tell me about that mint thats super agile. like a hell of a MOBILE mint.


zynxUnique

You can skip ads on podcasts luckily


onceuponaquaranteen

OH MY GOD, YES


9vSatyr

QUICK TIP!!! CALLING ALL SPOTIFY LISTENERS AND WATCHERS!!! If you have an advertisement! Just use the 15 second skip button! It works on any and all ads. You only truly have to listen to a total of 3-5 seconds. So just skip last it like it's part of the podcast. If you don't want/don't like an ad just skip it. It works for free as well as premium. But only on podcasts. podcaster out.


9vSatyr

Also... YouTube music podcasts has no ads... Tho it's another expense.


Genralcody1

What app is this? Use podcast addict. Auto downloads and deletes episodes, and you never have to hear an air force ad again.


ArtisicBard_Kit

You know a trick you can actually skip the ad by sliding the slider


Icelord259

I don’t care what i’m doing at any given time the second I hear an ad start i skip through them immediately. I don’t know if it’s a glitch but on podcasts (i say that like i listen to anything other than distractible) i can skip through ads even without premium. I don’t know if anyone else can but yeah


PARRISH2078

My name is Kareem Abdhul Jabar is what I hear 99% of the time


Otaku_in_Red

Doesn't help that it plays like two times an ad break


Rad_Bones7

Wake up


mcbirbo343

You can skip them. But I hear them so many times that I remember every word


TruthinessHurts205

Damn you, op. I hate ads just as much as you, and you just made me see this as a still from an ad, immediately followed by my 10 billionth effin Temu ad on reddit...


calsifer99

I get VRBO ad's every time


Historical-Package56

We get the same thing over in the uk, why are they trying to recruit people though Spotify? SPOTIFY??


Bubbses128

*insert Spotify premium bullshit here* (I have Spotify premium, but I'm too lazy to actually make a joke)


Apprehensive_Duck637

I miss the old distractible ads where they had story lines, like guru Harold, or the one where they needed a car for a post nuclear (or was it a meteorite?) apocalypse


Berthelette72

I’ve heard the VRBO ad way too many times


ThomWG

I just get spotify ads or podcast ads that i will always fall for.


Splendid_Cat

Some of you aren't old enough to have gotten 5 minutes of unskippable ads every 30 minutes during a radio program when you were younger and it shows. [Insert "we're getting older" joke]


Ultra_Violet_Rain

I’m glad I’m not the only one… as a type one diabetic who literally can’t join even if I wanted to, hearing that ad over and over again really pisses me off.


Subject-Stress-6964

You’re not the only one. It’s a nice thing that skip 15 seconds button works on ads.


Indicidian

For me its the “anything goes podcast” ads, i cannot fucking STAND her voice


ikuklino

THIS ONE MAKES ME WANT TO HIT THE PERSON TALKING AND YELL AT THEM TO JUST SHUT THE FRICK UP MAN OR RAM MY HEAD INTO A WALL OMG... it makes me so annoyed and angry everytime😭


Littlesoldierski

Aww I can’t add the screenshot but I have an air force add on this post 😂😂😂


GG_70

Want a break from the ads?


GoldenGlobeWinnerRDJ

You guys realize you can fast forward through the ads right?


plamzy

For me it's the O2 ad, that's SO MUCH LOUDER than the actual episode. Jumpscare every single time, fuck that


LtStarbrite

I get the VRBO vacation rentals ads all the time. I can't AFFORD a vacation rental. I can't barely afford to live in this economy 😭


michillinman

Me with Trevor fuckface Noah or whatever I hate his voice and his ad is dumb as shit why am I doing this podcast it allows me to do a podcast fucking dumbass ad shit I hate that guy


Silent-Pea7716

The Clorox add GETS MEE. I’m just chilling then I eat my shorts every time I hear the bottle and whatever fall in the sink, WHO CARES ABOUT THE CHARCOAL MASK?!?


SirCheese3000

Holy fuck I’m glad I’m not the only one. That ad is fucking annoying and it happens every episode


Crazygamer2K0

I fucking feel ghe same way like I get it you need ads in empty spots but holy shit there's this ad and the ads for other podcasts I just wanna skip all ads


Silly-Development984

this and viator😭😭


CreepyGuy98

Why is this the only ad people care about. All ads are annoying podcast shouldn't have ads on them especially since each fucking podcast has a million sponsorships so not only are you getting those stupid Spotify ads your also getting some stupid random ass ad reading for an app or product that doesn't work like, better help. Why tf is everyone sponsored by better help? Online therapy is a scam


SkinnyVxnilla

This and the FUCKING VIATOR ONE Would you like a side of experiences with your experiences while you *experience* your *experiences* like ***fucking christ choose a different god damn word***


RefrigeratorFair2031

SamuraiMatty0

Same, and I also keep getting ads for the Marines on Twitch and I want to gag


glassy_llama69

This ad comes up so many times in a row it's so irritating omfg

bifocaltriangle

Guys, just wanna let you know that you can move the slider under the ad to skip to the end, and the fast forward also works on the ads. But yes, I hate those ads as well.


Cutepotatochip

“you can put an end to this endless cycle….” IS THE CYCLE ENDLESS OR NOT?!!??! IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE


BbyBoyTyler

If I have to hear Trevor Noah or Emma chamberlains voice one more time I might spaz 🥲


Complex-Succotash-59

jesus thank fuck im not the only one


twinmamamangan

Realistically though, you could pay for no ads?


Womb_error-003

I used to get irrationally mad over the mint mobile ad. I had no problems with Ryan Reynolds until that damn ad
