I haven't paid a cent for YouTube in my life. Wouldn't that mean it's free?

For a legitimate question you sure do keep countering answers with "I don't do it so why do you?"

As for why people use a dedicated app? Convenience. All my podcast are in one place, they get updated automatically, and if I want it they get downloaded to storage automatically too so I can listen to them offline.

If someone tells me about a new podcast I might like, I can search for it and be listening to it within seconds, rather than having to download it from a website. Plus if I'm using Google Podcasts, playback is synced across devices so I can pick up on my phone where I left off on my computer.

Besides there's a ton of open source podcast apps and most don't have ads or tracking.

I don't understand it so nobody does

Just because you don't understand what security patches are doesn't mean your phone can't be exploited, especially when it's running an os that's half a decade old.

What do you mean? You're telling me you don't want to watch reviews for the weekly Oppo/Honor/Xiaomi/Nubia phones with identical specs?

Here in Canada I don't have the cinematic wallpaper or emoji wallpaper feature. I also don't have the automatic timer start feature when taking photos. I don't understand why these were touted as feature drop features when they were server side all along, or they need an individual app (the camera) to be updated.

I need to see Aston Martin unveil the most illegal, protest-inducing, send-Newey-into-a-coma upgrades and for it to rain so my boy Lance can get that maiden win.

Ironically I didn't even realize the post went through until I saw your comment pop up. The post submit button was loading for a good few minutes

My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.

The UIs are similar to some extent so it might not be a bad idea to have the boost dev work on Jerboa

From what I understand you don't need an account on all instances. So let's say you have an account on lemmy.ml, you can search for "community@beehaw.org" and subscribe to it.
