Losing interest due to loss of authenticity

I've been a listener for many years now and have dropped so many other celebrity podcasts due to them essentially being smoke blowing competitions where they mostly smell each other's asses and call it roses (I'm looking at you Smartless) but I stuck with Dax because he at least seemed somewhat genuine and was certainly much harder on himself than anyone else. I've never much liked Monica and how she acts since she got money, but Dax seemed to keep it together enough for me to ignore it.

However, over the last six months or so things seem to have really gone downhill. I can't point to any one specific event, just a general increase in the platitudes and presser style surface nonsense, with Dax seeming to being kissing way more ass than before.

Also, he talked about how they didn't do video because it made the process less authentic, and now there's video, but only for experts, but the recent Josh Brolin interview was on video so that promise is out the window. It seems like Dax as succumbed to the almightly dollar as bad as Monica did and the show suffers greatly.

Part of it might be how many of his "close friends" seem to keep being outed as total Hollywood shitbags, mixed up in the whole Diddy scandal, and it makes me question his whole persona.

Also the number of ads has gotten insane. There's like 20 minutes of ads for an hour show.

So, I'm beginning to find myself less interested and I'm starting to skip the fact checks since they've devolved into mostly Monica talking about how rich she is and maybe one fact. I wonder how much longer until I just skip the whole thing altogether.
