I recently started using @npr 's mobile app again, and man...has it gone downhill. We've lost the straight local station streams, and instead we have to put up with a "local" stream with NPR-inserted targeted ads every few minutes. It's worse than commercial radio. Truly a case of @pluralistic's #enshittification in action.
NPR is a vital resource...it's tough to watch something this bad come out of the organization I rely on for so much. I'll stick to the regular airwaves for now.
