There was a lot of podslop before Ai started doing this. I'm all for trying to get this cleaned up but unlike Ai songs that can sneak into my algorithm and get played on my Playlist perhaps even without me noticing, I'm going to sniff out a bum podcast before I devote any time listening to it or at least know very quickly if it's garbage and do my part to alert others.
