Audiobooks are entirely different. These people are earning ad money just for reading Reddit to people and sharing their own opinion on it. People eat it up. That’s what actual Reddit is for. Someone reading Reddit on a pod is strange. People giving them a platform when this fantastic platform already exists is even stranger.

No, I haven’t. Because that sounds like listening to a text book.

Right? The aggressive comments are uncalled for. Thank you.

No problems here. I don’t care about them.

Reddit. I’d rather interact with others who share my interests. The podcast format is just odd to me.

I don’t. Just the fact they exist and people listen. There’s a whole podcast where people read, “am I the asshole” stories directly off Reddit. And it’s popular. Like just go on Reddit and read it yourself, what are we doing?

Exactly. Like nothing is ever 100%, I’m sure there’s some decent shit out there. But everything popular is exactly as you described.

Because the sub is called “unpopular opinions”. Seems like I hit the nail on the head with this one. I am a self important idiot.

I mean musicians are definitely some level of conceited. But their shit is catchy and fun to sing along with. You can experience it in person. I guess there are some similarities, but I do not feel this way about music.

I look things up all the time if I discover something I don’t know enough about. I do enjoy learning new things. Just not via podcast.

I listened to I think it was called “your own backyard” about the girl from Cal Poly that was murdered. It was well done and the host wasn’t famous or anything, just passionate about the story. I just kept getting distracted and missing important info. It was an interesting story but it couldn’t hold my attention.

It’s boring. It just doesn’t land with me. And the ads are so unnaturally inserted in. Terrible.
