Too much bloat / ads vs. actual content nowadays

Don't get me wrong, NLW is a great thinker and has good content, but it has gotten so bloated with irrelevant things by now, that it makes it unfortunately unlistenable! Minutes of intro and disclaimer and discord shilling in the beginning, followed by THREE ad slots (used to be one) in the middle and then conference shilling and again sponsor thanking at the end. This is simply too much. I don't have time to constantly skip through the recording. Please look at how Lex Fridman does it. Use the description or put everything at the end for those who have not heard it yet or don't wanna hear the same bloat every day.
