Bigger Pockets podcast ads
Bit of an odd rant, but does anyone else find it a bit odd that the BP podcast has ads? Since BP is a paid product, you would think they would either have no ads at all or only advertise the BP community.
Ads always dilute the message of a podcast host a little bit, depending on how well-curated they are.
The fundrise ad for example - Brandon says "this is the future of real estate investing" in his own voice. Does he really believe that? (Doubt it...that's generally not the kind of thing they are encouraging people to do in their actual content) So is he just saying that because they're paid to say it? Dilutes their credibility.

@Kalen Jordan - I'm all for ads for a few selfish reasons:
1. I don't want my Pro Membership to cost $100/month
2. In the last 12 months, I've earned in excess of $500/hr on BP. I'm happy to let BP earn some money too
3. If I ever create a ground breaking product I'd like Brandon or David to read my ad on BP
Finally, the ads aren't badly placed or lengthy, and you can fast forward. ;)
