A podcast app that crowdsources listener timestamp annotations like • 32:15 to 34:00 is ads • Hosts spend 12 minutes talking about their lives • The last 20min is a promotion for a different podcast then supports per-show settings like "skip ads and off topic chitchat"

thought about this too but need to the get the UI right and incentivize timestamping somehow. like why should i who skip over stuff go back & take extra time annotate something i prob wont listen to again? i was thinking mvp could be a podcast app with heatmap of skip locations

I think you might get a lot of mileage out of people naturally, like Waze. Low key spite-driven gamification. If you want to provide a carrot though, you could swap in your own ads for the ads that are replaced and make it ad free for people who contribute/confirm annotations

yeah. am probably overthinking the incentive needed. other angle i was thinking was filter-in instead of filter-out. so like reduce every podcast to just the best 3-5 min clip. will naturally not have ads.

You could also track how people use the fast forward and rewind buttons and probably get a pretty good idea of where the ads are at least
