FWIW, we don't do any tracking with Buzzsprout Ads. We can tell you which podcasts accepted the ads, how many plays the episodes received, but we don't track the end user at all.
Again, not knocking on the business plan, but how you square that with your stated position?
> But over the past ~30 years, the internet has become much more commercial.
You work for a company doing podcasts, distributed over internet, which lets creators make money. It is the definition of commercial.
> Every page is optimized for engagement, so your attention can be resold to ad companies.
You can rewrite that "page" with "content", and then how different is your podcast? "Every content (podcast) is optimized for engagement, so your attention can be resold to ad companies".
> We can tell you which podcasts accepted the ads
How do you know which podcasts accepted ads? Yes, by tracking. To be honest, it isnt a bad word at all - but you made it to be a bad word, and I'm pointing that out.
EDIT:
Your company uses GTM, which I'm sure you look at as the Head of Marketing.
