Peru, nice
they should have a dashboard - too much data to use a paging list with huge item padding
also if this is widespread I would have thought they could point some ai sauce at it as a first line of defense

‘Podcasts are there as entertainment for your ears while your eyes are busy. That’s the fundamental thing that podcasting offers – and that radio offers, by the way – and if you turn it into television or, in podcasting’s case, if you turn into cheap television, I fail to understand where the benefit is’
