I liked having both in the same app until I discovered AntennaPod, which is far superior to Spotify's podcast manager.

I was mostly joking but I'm just so over podcasts. Even when people who I like and follow on YouTube talk about their podcasts my eyes glaze over.

I have so little time and patience for low effort hours long drivel that i find what I'm doing now more worthwhile than listening to a podcast. Not saying all podcasts are like this obviously but that's my default assumption.

Multitask. Listen to a podcast AND do what you are doing now. Can't be many people that sit down, focus and say "I'll now listen to a podcast and do nothing else".

that's only more proof that it's worthless.

It’s just like everything else in the world, 90% of things are shitty, but the good 10% of things are always worth finding.
