I gave up on Pocket Casts right after (IIRC) Automattic bought it and rapidly turned it into garbage.
Garbage? Still beats every other podcast app out there. Especially the queue system. I'm currently at 146 days listened since 2019.

But is this podcast app really "popular"? I know it used to be cool many many years ago, but I haven't heard anyone use it in the last like 5 years. Everyone seems to be using Apple Podcasts or Overcast or Spotify
Yes, I've listened to 259 days worth of podcasts using the app since 2018. They're one of the few apps that actyally honored the lifetime purchase after moving to a subscription model too so I continue to get new features.

Nice πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž I just use the regular Apple podcast app on my Apple TV to watch all of my podcasts - I watch a lot of Leo Laporte tech podcasts (such as MacBreak Weekly) on there as well

Definitely planning on replacing my 2022 Apple TV when the new one comes out! I just hope that they don’t copy what Roku just did and raise prices by a lot:

The price increases don't make sense.

The Streaming Stick Plus, Streaming Stick 4K, and Streambar SE all have 1GB RAM, yet the price increases are all different. Meanwhile, the Roku Ultra with 2GB RAM will see the same $50 price increase as the 1GB Streambar SE.

And a $30 price increase for a 5 year old device? πŸ˜‚ (Streaming Stick 4K was announced on Sep. 20, 2021 ('https://newsroom.roku.com/news/2021/09/roku-introduces-all-new-roku-streaming-stick-4k-and/memssmpw-1632010197') as 2022 year model ('https://developer.roku.com/dev/docs/hardware'))
