As usual, Google is getting rid of an incredibly popular service of theirs that I use on a regular basis. It's the service that I use most often besides Google search, so that hits me even harder. Yeah, they're getting rid of google podcasts by next year apparently, and it's quite annoying: the app was light, simple, ad-free and got the job done. I liked it so much in fact, and it was so useful that I was looking to getting smartwatches that ran google podcasts so I could listen to google podcasts without having my hone around.
So that's not happening.
I downloaded some other random but very popular podcast app and it's...alright. A lot more busy, so many ads, so confusing, and nowhere nearly as convenient as the Google app. I'm annoying, disappointed, and feel cheated on. Yet again I feel screwed over by trusting google to maintain one of their core apps.
If only the geniuses in the brain trust of Google's workforce would consider working on less exciting projects or maintaining them.
