There should be an xkcd for Google killing off stuff.
Unless there already is.
Or an Onion article that we can repeat post everyone this happens. Twice a year in most years. Google Domains.

Ah, fantastic, another fucking app to migrate because of a corporate decision. Wonder when this shit is going to become a weekly occurrence.

God damnit...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The company earlier this year announced YouTube Music would begin supporting podcasts in the U.S., which will expand globally by year-end, and more recently said it was adding the ability for podcasters to upload their RSS feeds to YouTube also by year-end.
The latter is something rival Spotify has also been working on with its rollout of video podcast support to creators worldwide last year along with community features like Q&As and polls.
These migration tools aren’t yet available but will be worked on in the coming weeks and months before being rolled out to all users.
“We know this transition will take time, but these efforts will allow us to build an amazing product and a single destination that rewards creators and artists and provides fans with the best Podcasts experience,” a YouTube blog post explained.
We’re committed to being transparent in communicating future changes with our users and podcasters and will have more to share about this process in the coming months,” it said.
The move will leave only Apple among the major players that hasn’t consolidated music and podcasts into a single destination, as Spotify, Amazon and Pandora all offer both types of audio in their flagship applications.
