What a weird website. Why is this microphone hated so much? All the listed alternatives are far more expensive, except for the ATR-2100x which looks awful. And according to the page itself, doesn't have a good built-in pop filter. We only have Blue Yeti's at work, the sound is fine, they look great on camera, they're not overly expensive, they have an audio output for testing, they can be screwed into any microphone stand. The arguments are also, weird. The Yeti is a condenser micprohone, but that is typically the chosen type of microphone for podcasting. They tend to be more sensitive, but the yet does have a cardioide mode (and three other modes). And if you are recording a podcast maybe just treat the room instead if it poses an issue? Another argument is "meh" quality compared to alternatives, but the page does not really list comparable alternatives. The third argument just states that people use it wrong... I personally have a Blue Snowball, it has a cardiode mode with a -10db pad. Thanks to the pad it works perfect in my untreated room, without any software. It comes with an omni and cardiode mode, can fit onto any stand and comes with its own highly adjustable metal stand. It looks great and is cheaper than all the alternatives shown on the page.
