 Anyone else have anything else to say to this? 

I really can't stand the UI, so I'm not very fond of fountain, anyway. But... If all this is true (and it seems to be), I'll just nope TF out of using it permanently.

 Arweave is endorsed by every big tech scumbag and the devs use Discord. I don't know anything other than that, but that's enough. I see a fire outside of the frying pan.  
 Yeah. I honestly don't understand the need to add "blockchain" stuff to RSS, which just effing works.

Now... Would I like a podcast app to be wake to create a list of podcasts I listen to so I could share it with other nostr users? Yes. I'd like that.  
 AntennaPod has OPML and HTML export options. Is that what you mean?

I use that for podcasts and Fossify Feeder for RSS. I don't know what I would gain from closed source tracking crap or shitcoin blockchains. 
 No. I would rather not have to send a file to a fellow nostrich. I would rather link a list. 

Not that sharing an OPML file is difficult, but... It would be fun to have some of the social aspects that fountain is trying to enact, but without their intrusive funding stuff. 

I use antennapod, too. It's pretty great.  
 I've also landed on Antennapod, though sometimes it doesn't play for me. Fountain was too glitchy and felt gimmicky. I was thinking of redownloading it to try again, but will not obv if this information is accurate.  
 I've never once had an issue with AP. This is across 3 phones and years. 

I have had issues with some podcasts that reformat their RSS feed for whatever reason, but, that's not AP's fault.  
 Yeah, I'm not super techie, so idk where the problem originates. When streaming it will tell me it can't play this file right now, please try deleting and redownloading. 🤷‍♀️  
 Ah, I see. That seems Nostrifiable, so maybe it'll be fully decentralized at some point. I think we're going to have to filter through a lot of mainstream apps touting "Nostr integration" before the FOSS stuff catches up.  
 I gotta say I really struggled with the UX (iPhone) and ended up deleting the app for now

If it is in fact close sourced and custodial I can’t see any reason to give it another try🤔

I’ve also struggled with the UX of  ecash…but absolutely see the benefits in continuing to support it

Just one idgit’s opinion🤷🏽‍♂️ 
 I'm not a fan of closed source anything.
