What is wrong here?

Is not a view informed by real experiences a more useful one than pure objectivity? Take the real experiences, subtract emotional weight/bias (as best as possible), disclaimer it with "based on real view" or however and I think that's a relatively well-formed useful piece of knowledge to disseminate. It is not an axiom, but a data point.

In this situation particularly, a white noise podcast is meant purely for the emotional pleasure of the listener. Subjective experience is _the_ optimizing factor. Ads interrupt that and are better placed where someone wants to be engaged in that way. This does not contradict that there is a _general_ necessity for ads. It's a refutation of this particular placement.
