That's so unnecessary.
If Apple wants to fend off rivals, then just stop treating podcasts as second class citizens and built tools for creators, including detailed analytics. I'm not talking about the type of analytics that Google would built (one that reports that you were sitting on john while listening to this part), but one with anonymized usage data that helps creators producing new content and generate revenue through subscription and advertisement.
- spankalee 7y agoWhat part of Google analytics do you think are different from what you described?
- doh 7y agoI meant that Google would try to extract any and every information from a user, while Apple can easily just provide the most important information. Admittedly, I was trying to be a bit funny. Didn't work out obviously.
- travisjungroth 7y agoNo, I got it. People who get the joke don’t leave a comment. They just exhale out their nose.
- bredren 7y agoI used their podcast connect service recently and it is so basic and bad. I agree if they cared about podcasts they should start with enabling all podcasts. Walling off accessibility podcast audio streams is dumb precedent for such an influential player to fuel.
