Sometime in the past decade NPR became unlistenable for me. I'm not sure if they changed or I did but I rarely feel I get anything out of listening to NPR other than annoyance.

I was just talking to someone about this exact same thing yesterday and I also made the comment "I'm not sure if they changed or I did".

For twenty years I consumed hours of NPR content per day and was even a contributor, but now I can't stand NPR.

Seems like an unpopular opinion, but I am in the same boat.

A few years ago I got a job where I could listen every morning again after a few years without. The virtue signalling was so intense that it came off almost like a comedy.

To be fair though, I am talking more about the local affiliate station (WNYC) than NPR itself. However, NPR still doesn't stray far from the core demographics of their member stations.
