Spotify has spent over half a billion dollars on acquisitions and investments into its podcasts division, there is zero chance they ever intentionally implement anything that might impede the returns on that spending.
- josephg 5y agoThey get ROI if people subscribe to spotify. Why would they care whether I listen to podcasts through their official app or through a 3rd party's app? If spotify's podcasts are available in my preferred podcast app after I've logged in to my spotify account, they still get paid. And I'll listen to & appreciate way more of their podcasts that way. And they can use it as another funnel for potential customers. Its win-win.
