    It is both funny and sad that Google has more or less trained me to never use their apps.

    At this point, I purposefully don’t use them because I assume they’ll soon be cancelled.

      About two weeks ago I thought about this in regards to google podcasts.

      “Well this one will probably stick around long enough that I’ll have moved on by the time google shuts it down. They don’t even host the episodes anyway. They source the metadata and audio files from elsewhere. All they really host is my listening history, queue, and subscriptions. Certainly this is less likely to get the axe anytime soon.”

      *two weeks later*

      It really does suck though. I genuinely like the google podcasts app/website. Best one I’ve found so far that works how I like my apps/services to work.

        Man I recently switched from podcast addict after years because podcast addict put an annoying nag about permissions changes in Android, plus I always had issues with the playlist/queuing. Guess I’ll go back to it soon
