- marcrosoft 6y agoI am too. I was disappointed when Joe Rogan signed an exclusive deal with Spotify. I’m not sure if people realize this but a podcast is just an RSS feed to your audio files that you submit to a search index. Why would we want to centralize and give up control?
- pixxel 6y agoEspecially given Rogan has had Adam Curry on a couple of times. Then again I defy anyone to turn down eye watering money. The sellout of open podcasting remains though.
- notyourwork 6y agoI don’t think we consumers do. Businesses want concentrated reason for you to come to them. If you want podcast x you have to come to service y. Walled gardens are the strategy where exclusivity yields more customers. We saw this with video and now audio is going down this path.
- jankassens 6y agoI’d say change. More money in the podcast industry should also result in higher production value. More money will also push some of the independent content a bit to the sidelines.
