Podcast Host Apologizes for Betting Ad Backlash
Did they actually change the policy or just delete the ad? I want to know the details.
Finally, some accountability. The silence from other hosts would have been worse.
I unfollowed immediately. No amount of saying sorry changes the fact they promoted betting.
Why do podcasts keep pushing gambling? It feels predatory, especially targeting younger listeners.
Hope this apology is genuine and not just damage control for their sponsorships.
