>can host their podcast somewhere else [...] Apple doesn't have a monopoly on podcast hosting.
True, but with Spotify, now Apple and in the future perhaps other major players, what if all members of the oligopoly deny someone a service?
>even host it themselves
Can be seen as a silencing strategy - making something extremely inconvenient.
- scarface74 8y agoApple never hosted the podcast. It just provided a search engine. If Google and every other search engine decides not to index the Pirate Bay, I will still know where to get my uhh -Linux distros.
- delinka 8y ago>...making something extremely inconvenient. It's not Apple's job to keep things convenient for content publishers. Let alone those only indexed by their search engine. If you're squelched by mere "inconvenience", then perhaps your convictions to share your message aren't strong enough and your message isn't worthy of attention after all.
- marcelluspye 8y agoThen they've just given some new upstart room to enter the market by hosting the denied person. It's funny to call an industry that didn't even exist 20 years ago an oligopoly. The industry leader of 20 years from now may not even exist yet.
