You've probably noticed that everyone and their mother has a podcast, and it's something that Tyler, The Creator is sick of. So, he wants most of them shut down.

The Chromakopia rapper recently spoke with The Cut about it and said a that money podcasts are hosted by dummies.

"I think we give a lot of people who aren’t smart and just want attention platforms to be loud and incorrect, and other stupid people follow them," said Tyler. "Where are the people with skills? We need electricians, we need more drummers, painters, teachers. Everybody with a mic is crazy. I just think that sh*t is gross. Deante Kyle is sick, and The Cutting Room Floor is sick. Those are two podcasts that are in the right direction."

Tyler doesn't like many of today's websites either.

"Everything is dead," he opined. "You know what happened? Everyone wanted to be everything. You used to go to a website that was specifically about this type of music and now they’re posting about shoes. Nothing is specific anymore. It’s like, damn, I followed this page because they posted the illest Italian cars and now they’re talking about so-and-so’s new country song."

Is Tyler right or has he turned into a curmudgeon?
