Now that we're learning this lesson that centralized silos are brittle and operate in the interest of the owners not the users...

...please note the move toward centralizing podcasts into apps from Amazon/Audible, Spotify, iHeart, YouTube, TikTok etc.

If you like podcasts, use an RSS-based podcast player. Support the open ecosystem. We can only survive if you clearly see the threat and act supportively.

@leo I am currently moving away from Podkicker Pro since it's minorly buggy and making horrible UI decisions and adding ads despite the fact I've paid for it and moving to @AntennaPod since it seems to be solid and doesn't have ads or crypto bullshit

@leo (I found two podcatchers on fDroid that looked good, and @AntennaPod is the one that didn't have a weird using crypto to tip podcasters feature built in)
