I get this is an attempt at a joke but...who cares? Something that seems stupid and pointless to one person is fascinating to another. Niche interests are always fun to explore.

Also, if someone wants to do a podcast on the anthill in their backyard, why not? It's not hurting anybody. They're just making something, and I admire anyone that follows through on actually making something and puts it out there, even if it's not great. Just let people enjoy their lives, y'all.

The same could be said of this piece of satire, yet here you are… taking it bizarrely personal.

Because shitting on people doing their weird thing is shitty and discourages them from doing said weird things, and isn't remotely the same as someone making something harmless?

This is some weird "you have to tolerate my intolerance" tactic you've chosen.
