A voice note is a podcast the recipient did not consent to.

Please stop sending them.

  1. It's time-consuming. I can read the same information much faster than I can listen to it.
  2. I can't search or scan it. Finding a piece of info again means replaying the whole thing.
  3. I can't always listen. I might be at work, in public, or somewhere I can't listen.

The exception

If hearing your voice is actually the point, I may want the voice note.

Rare exceptions apply for people and moments that matter.
