This is stupid (as usual). I use the podcast app and when it will be turned off guess what i will use instead? Any other app instead of YouTube Music!!! Why? Because F**k Google!!! That's why!
I swear, it's like they are deliberately trying to push me away from all their services. First Chrome, then Google search, and now podcast too. I'm already looking at some decent Gmail alternative.
And these Google actions are what cause me to #degoogle my life, finding alternatives for every Google thing I use. Damn you Google, don't be like that...
Podcast Republic is an awesome podcast app. When Stitcher became cumbersome that's what I switched to years ago. I feel even better having made the switch now that Stitcher has been absorbed.
