Google team, we need to talk. Your reputation has fallen among many developers for a lack of long-term commitment to anything. Could you please get your executives in a room and figure out everything else that needs to sunset in the next two years? It’s fine for a product to run its course but the endless paper cuts of sunsetting announcements is getting old. Once you figure out what needs to get cut, just make a big…

The entire podcasts industry seems to be on a downward spiral. I feel like the days are numbered for Spotify's podcast dreams as well, looking at how little they are promoting them now in app or outside. What on earth happened? It was the hottest new thing in media, and then...everyone just collectively lost interest? Was it just the Covid bubble, or something else?
OK, I'm done. I need to migrate my email from gmail. It's going to be long and arduous. Suggestions on providers? Before you ask: No, I do not want to host my own mail.

You'll probably hear this a lot on here, but I'm a happy Fastmail user.
I haven't decided where to migrate to, but it's definitely NOT Youtube Music.

I use iCloud for anything personal (been using it since MobileMe) and Amazon Workmail for anything professional.

That may be a project at some point to merge the 2. But it’s not a big deal to keep them separate I guess.

I think the podcast market got ridiculously inflated when COVID hit, with every remotely known person starting a own podcast. Many more podcasts were created, so more of them also fade away now.
For the media industry it was fantastic. It was so damn cheap because everything was taken care of by the podcaster himself. They just had to observe if it can gain momentum on its own and then randomly decide to accelerate it with some additional ad-money or exclusivity contract.
This was shortly interrupted by a "let's acquire every media in the world / let's pay Joe Rogan 200 MILLION dollars for his podcast" hype, now it's back to "let's see which ones of chicklets will make it"...
