I've had Deezer Premium for over a year now and for the past 2 weeks, I've been getting adds every time I start listening to a podcast. What's the point of paying for a Premium subscription when I can't get rid of the adds 100%?

Podcasts are coming NOT from Deezer, so podcast makers may add their own ads to the stream. Ads can be heard on all podcast services. Premium is ad free only for music content which is most.

Hi, Jaime

For me, it consistently plays one at the beginning of the podcast, and then also at certain points through the run time, but I’’m not sure how consistent or fixed the placement is. I can scrub back and forth or 30sec-hop through the ads though, so I think they have fixed slots. But the ad content is different each time I reload the episode.

Thanks

@Jaime.Deezer It depends on the episode. It could be at the beginning, or somewhere in the middle, or at the end (and in that latter case the ad doesn't seem to be part of the episode duration, like the timecode stays frozen as if the ad played after the episode)

Hello @m.a.

Thank you for your feedback,

Ads are authorised on some podcasts, depending on the podcast and podcasters. As you are based in Germany, the ads are targeted as a German user with present-day ads, even if the episode(s) it’s and old one.

Thanks :)

Therefore, Deezer are placing the ads.

Hi @m.a.

Thank you for your comments, we do appreciate your opinion,

As it has been mentioned at the beginning of this thread by one of our superusers, the podcasts are coming from the users (podcast makers), not from Deezer, and Premium is ad free only for music content, that’s why you could get some ads while you are listening to the podcasts,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused :)

That’s a lie. The adverts are coming from Deezer.

Hi @pcmoreno it is unlikely, but if you send me the name and URL on Deezer for the podcast that you mentioned I can ask to the corresponding team. Also if you could tell what’s the ad about, or product/brand would be helpful too.
Thanks

Deezer needs to admit that they are injecting adverts.
