I’ve been saying for ages that podcasts are the last mainstream bastion of what the Internet is supposed to be. Imagine if it was the same for film and tv?
It seems they are about to have their bubble burst. It’s probably the next wave of enshittification.
Spotify is actively and aggressively trying to be the ones to break podcasts by having their spotify exclusives.
Even things like Patreon bonus episodes aren’t a problem – they still are sent out via RSS. Still use the interoperable standard. You can even share the URL with people you know, if you feel like it.
The bad actors creating true app-exclusive content need to be called out, shamed, and stopped. Even if it is NPR.
I just launched a podcast a couple days ago. On a website, on a tiny server that lives on my dresser. Then I added it to Apple and Spotify and all the usual suspects. Such a wonderful system. Feels like I’m living in the past, in a good way.
