    RIP Google Podcasts. I’m not a fan of everything being moved under the YouTube branding, a platform I’ve come to associate with terrible ads, questionable algorithms, and the promotion of misinformation.

      Now you can have your podcasts with terrible ads, questionable algorithms and the promotion of misinformation!

      Would be a lot harder to maintain that crucial functionality across different apps

      YouTube music is pretty good though. Kinda makes sense for them to merge them.

      I use both apps, this doesn’t really change much for me.

        I've never used/liked Google podcasts (I've used BeyondPod since before Google Podcasts existed and never saw a reason to change), this really doesn't change much for me either.
