It was a bad podcast app to begin with.
Google is doing their usual shit move of killing yet another product.
Google is doing an even shittier move of merging it with YouTube.
A company run by utter jokers.
My attitude towards any google product: never again.
YouTube is their only unrivaled product that I'm compelled to use (through NewPipe with SponsorBlock). Oh amd Android, but I use a Degoogling/hardening guide as mich as possible.
Other than that I've found much better alternatives for everything. They aren't even the best choice for most services. They're just the most convenient choice through established familiarity. I started Degoogling my life and never looked back. Don't miss it in the slightest.
Yeah. For me it's maps. It's difficult to replace with something open that includes live traffic information as well as details on shops.
