Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

To their credit, at least they're still trying to build stuff. Microsoft avoids this problem by no longer innovating and just buying into whatever is trending. (Not that Google also isn't doing the same). If you never build anything new, you never risk killing a product that didn't trend, which happens a lot.

I think if they decide to kill off a product they should be required to open source it.

Required by who? Lemmy posters? How would this possibly be enforced? What constitutes a product vs a feature?

It's not even like Google podcasts was anything special, there's tons of better alternatives.
