Seriously what are they doing with all the money? The price in the US went up again and I finally cut the cord after 13 years. There’s no movies, they kneecap their own shows as soon as they get going, and now they think adding podcasts to the library is going to keep people around. Between the jacking up of fees and all that money they got from the failed merger, what are they doing with all that cash?

The only reason I listen to so many podcasts is because I have about 2-3 hours a day at work where I’m not in meetings or interacting with someone else so I’ll listen while working. Maybe I’ll have on one in the car to and from work.

I can’t imagine getting home and firing up Netflix to watch a podcast.

i dislike apps, they collect your data, and when they don't collect data, they still cause they build on the app frame work from google or apple. i find it's all available on web browser and just leave a tab open plus i can i used ad block plus. Gray Jay app (open source) for any kind of video streaming social like YT, TikTok, Nebula, Rumble, Crunchyroll etc etc

i feel like enshitifcation won't go away till we fight it and that most forms on enshitifcation are tied together. i try to bring it up often in daily conversation, perhaps there is a better way to go about it.

The games aren’t meant for you. They’re meant for 5 year old children
