Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.
I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.
Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.
I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.
You're viewing a single thread.
How else are they gonna half ass implement that into youtube and make that shit bloated af.
It has long form content, Tiktok clone, Main music delivery system, Twitch clone, And now, Podcasts.

Going to be called YouTube Podcasts. Soon to be spun off into Google Wallet + Podcasts, then to be renamed Podcasts Pay, then Pay Podcasts, then Google Chrome with Podcasts.
Google Nest Home Chromecast TV with Podcasts Premium+
With different tiers of subscription.
This sounds unfortunately real. Insanity.
I don't have YouTube Pro or whatever its called now and when I listen to music on my Google home it plays an ad after ever song. Since I have switched to Pihole and blocked googles DNS servers the only ads I get are to buy premium YouTube which I assume are hardcoded into something somewhere.
We better be careful, with Googles track record they will be getting rid of YouTube soon and rolling it into whatever they are calling their Skype clone nowadays.

I think that five products are reasonably safe from Google's euthanasia project:
- YouTube
- Google Search
- Chrome
- "core" Android system + Play Store (it counts as one)
- AdSense
The common factor between them is advertisement: vulturing on your personal info (Chrome, GS, Android), serving you ads (YT, GS), ensuring that advertisers must pay the vassal tax to advertise (AdSense), and walling you in ways that you can't fight back (Chrome, Android+Play Store).
Google stopped being a technology business a long time ago; pragmatically nowadays it's simply an advertisement company that dabbles on tech.
Gmail and Gsuite pretty safe too.
Good catch on GMail - it's at the same time a vector to invade your privacy and an additional barrier for people leaving the Google
ecosystembattery farm.I'm not sure on GSuite.
GSuite is well used in corporate settings as a cheaper alternative to O365 enterprise.

They've primarily been an ad company ever since they acquired DoubleClick in 2008.
It seems like their trying to roll everything into the over media app and subscription
Kind of makes sense, all their other apps are pretty fragmented and crappy.
It also has games now.
I don't think it's rolled out to a lot of people. No one at work can see them except me, but my Google app has games that I can bring up.
