quantity vs quality, starting to disengage

“Previously 5stars with engaging ideas, storylines, creepy places and monsters. You felt a real sense of dread that all of the newer content is lacking.
Now:
Used to be my 2nd favorite podcast because of the consistently long stories (50-over an hour) but recently it's changed to pushing out more content instead of focusing on the quality. Like taking a #2, you shouldn't have to push push push. But that's what it's transformed into and it's sad.
The newer stories are too short to even remember. They begin and then abruptly end, and it's too jarring to be enjoyable— whereas before, was immersive and entertaining.
For a listener to get the mood, a feel for the characters, care for the characters or world we're plopped into—is important. Arguably everything. And recently all we get is exposition info dump instead of staying in the story and figuring out some things ourselves.
The newer content feels like it was made for an audience of idiots. This isn't a video platform where you gotta shove out all the info in a minute. Podcast listeners actually have attention spans and we want long stories to listen to while doing other things.
Main recent downsides:
•Too short to bother with anymore.
•Extreme tonality shifts between short episodes —which wasn't as bad when they were longer and you had time to sit with everything before moving on.
•Not memorable (again the lazy writing and shortness is a double whammy)”Read full review »
