Ads are the very core of Google at this point. They are more likely to give up their search engine and the name Google before they give up their ad business.

Depending on the system you're on it can be all you have. It's like Microsoft's vi, just so much worse

If my device started showing full-screen ads all of a sudden I'd assume I caught some malware. I guess I'll never update mine past v8.

They probably had trouble in their polycule

They have yet to learn their lesson.

I've been using wallabag for that, but this looks much more polished at first glance. I hope they improve their self-hosting support

I think the pricing of their subscription is roughly the same as audible's, but you get your books DRM-free. They also have some great books on sale sometimes that you don't need a subscription for, and you can choose a local bookstore to share revenue with. That said, city libraries are an amazing option as well.

I think I managed to sync playback position (or maybe it was just played status?) with Antennapod and the NC app at some point, but it seemed slow and unreliable, and I couldn't use it on my iPad, so I stuck with Pocket Casts for now :(

For audiobooks I recently discovered libro.fm and it works great. You can use their app to listen to it like any other service, but you can also just download the plain drm-free mp3s. For music there is bandcamp if the artist is on there, but for movies and series I'm not aware of any vendors like that. DVDs I don't see as an option because their file size limit is too low, the quality on a modern TV looks really bad. And Blurays are a whole other level of DRM hell.

Doesn't Podfetch integrate gpodder, so you don't need a separate gpodder instance? Or did I misunderstand that. Otherwise there is also a gpodder sync plugin for nextcloud I think. But yeah, I haven't found a satisfactory solution that works on Android and iOS myself

HoloCure. I don't know anything about vtubers, but it's free and pretty good
