Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.

I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.

Yeah, this was the only Google product that I really liked, and of course they're killing it just to force people to use YouTube Music. AntennaPod is an open-source alternative that functions very similarly, I've been using it for a couple of months now and I'm very happy with it.

Yeah, that's where I ended up, too. At least Google had the decency to support OPML export so I didn't have to redo my subscriptions manually.

Yeah, that was decent of them. I was expecting some sort of dark pattern bullshit to make exporting to a third-party extra hard, but it was actually pretty simple.
