MODERATORS
Learning to rely on Google as little as possible years ago was the best thing that ever happened to me. I learned this lesson/ came to this conclusion after they got rid of Google reader and even home page/ start page. Google reader was the best (still to this day) rss reader ever made. I still haven't found anything that matches how I had mine set up and its functionality/ usefulness.
What's this about basic email?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Google is killing off so many products lately we need to do a roundup or we won't get anything else done today.
YouTube has been slowly consuming all of Google's media properties, and podcasts completes the trinity along with videos (both amateur and scripted Hollywood content) and music.
This was announced on the official YouTube blog, if there was any question about the responsible party.
In 2024, Google Podcasts will die at 8 years old, if you want to count from the weird Google Search beginnings, but only has had the bare minimum feature set of a podcast service for four years.
If you've never heard of this, that's because it got a very small rollout to only Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
You can throw this shutdown into the pile of "Google price increases" this year.
The original article contains 493 words, the summary contains 141 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

This is in relation to YouTube Premium Lite, and not, as this shortened article implies, Google Podcasts.
Thanks for the clarification. Am I the only one that thinks autotldr is almost harmfully bad?
I like it for a quick overview. You just need to be aware that you have to check to full article if you find the summary interesting and really wanna save that information in your brain or do something with it.
