Or you use a good adblocker and then get extremely irritated when you once in a while have to listen to an ad ;)
Yep. Between ad blockers/sponsorblock and my content choices it’s actually extremely rare that I encounter any traditional advertising. I don’t even know how I used to sit through the old cable TV ads. Now I’m already searching for something else to do 5 seconds in
Yeah, same :D
Sponsorblock for YouTube was a game changer for me. Highly recommend it to everyone.
If the ads are baked in, just hit the 15s jump button a couple of times until you get back into the podcast. The ones I listen to usually play music during the ads, so when I hear the music is over I know I’m back in the podcast.

Sorry, didn’t realize you were referring to promos that Spotify runs for their content. Yeah I guess they don’t have a way to turn that off, but it’s a simple button to get past.
Also, fast forwarding really is not a big deal. While I’m out walking my dog and kiddo I just tap my ear buds twice and it fast forwards 15 seconds past the baked in ads in the podcast.

I listen to things in my car a lot where the only forward button on that interface is a skip to the next episode button. I’d have to pull out my phone and open the app on my phone to find the skip forward 15s button.
You just gotta stop listening to podcasts in Spotify. They’re hands down the worst listening experience for them.

Tbf Spotify produced podcasts don’t have the ads baked in so you can skip them almost immediately.
