Great. I always wanted a truckload of ads dumped across the podcast I want to listen to 👍
Why you don’t use an adblocker for it? /s
YouTube Music Podcast is the worst name for a product I’ve heard in a long time.
I suppose for video podcasts it’ll be YouTube Music Podcast Video
If you felt a bit disappointed when YouTube Music only released podcasts in the United States at launch, you’re in for a treat as the feature is finally coming to international markets.
Canada Brazil
International for the US but hardly international for anyone else further than a few thousand kilometres away. Wake me when it launches in Australia lol
I’ll stick with pocket casts.
Wait, Canada is getting something? I must be dreaming. Google acts like Canada doesn’t exist!
I use podcasts to get away from youtube. No way in hell I’m downloading this.
Listening to podcasts on closed source, corporate media platforms like Spotify and YouTube are the worst things you can do for podcasting. Podcasting has always been an open ecosystem built on old school technologies and Spotify, iHeartMedia, and YouTube are trying to insert themselves in order to create an additional Chokepoint in the media ecosystem. Even worse, because podcasts are usually freely available it is a great way to get people who subscribe to streaming services to spend their time streaming something the service doesn’t have to pay per stream for, unlike music
will this take over Google podcasts then?
