The article says it’s directly related to his move to a Spotify exclusive, which I did find annoying, but speaking for myself I started losing interest before that when he started randomly spewing far right talking points or giving those views equal weight to science and fact based data. His move to Texas was shocking, not. Before that I also got tired of him using every opportunity to parlay any topic into a rambling monologue on MMA.
As far as becoming a Spotify exclusive, and I acknowledge this is a first-world problem of the laziest order, but that switch was the nail in the coffin for me. I use Apple Music. I don’t need Spotify. Before his move, The Last Podcast on the Left podcast became a Spotify exclusive as well. I used to be a regular listener to their podcast as well, but also pretty much stopped listening, or even remembering, soon after they switched to Spotify exclusive. I sometimes check them out on Spotify, but after scrolling through the list of episodes I missed it appears they’re done doing the type of episodes I’d be interested in anyway. I’m sorry, but deep dives into high profile true crime doesn’t have the same audience as UFO abductions.
