I'd suggest the issue isn't the Chapters, but how the podcaster implements them. It's like ads - when listeners say there are too many ads, it's because the podcaster has made it that way. We have control over the listener experience - if a tool/feature is badly implements (and having 1 minute breaks between chapters is poorly implemented, from my own preference at least), then we're at fault, not the platform. :)
Yeah that makes sense. I see some 45 minute shows that have like 30 chapters. But if you had, I dunno Pod Save America where they covered 4 distinct topics it works better. I still think it encourages skipping.
I'd rather have a skip and a listen to a 5-10 minute chapter that catches someone's interest than no listen at all. Might encourage more listeners to check out other episodes. 👍
