My favorite part was when, at work, our internal software tooling team started doing podcasts instead of release notes. So instead of sending us a short list of changes in a new release that I could skim in two minutes, they shat out a 60-90 minute audio file where they jacked each other off about how they worked super hard. I would have murdered them but they were all in Australia. They all got shitcanned since, and I sincerely hope they're now sucking dick in a truck parking lot for a bowl of soup.
That sounds like the most dull thing in the world, and worst part is unlike YouTube you can't skip to the parts you want..
It's the same with streamers, vtuber, YouTubers etc for every successful one there are thousands of failures. The difference with podcasts is they see these people shooting the shit successfully and think why can't they do it.
Not realising the talent it takes to storycraft, engage with your fellow presenters and/or guests and the charisma it takes to draw someone you have never met in.
For every good one, you got 20 copycats that are really shit at it
That'll never change unless EVERY person is capable of introspection which will happen at the heat death of the universe..

Man, I thought the mandatory Monday meetings that could have been an email were bad.
