Sidenote: Spotify seems to require browser-based DRM when playing free podcasts. We really don't need more closed plattforms on the web. So I'm happy that facebook is no longer trying to do podcasting.
- AlwaysRock 5y agoWait... So Facebook not competing with Spotify is good?
- DocTomoe 5y agoIn all fairness, I still don't see why we need big players in the podcast market to begin with. A podcast can be as easy as MP3 files and an RSS file pointing to them - the whole "podcasting webapp" thing that people add on top of it only sets up fences and gates, much like "social media" killed and quasi-monopolized private web content production from personal homepages to Facebook.
- afandian 5y agoIMHO a podcast is defined as audio content + RSS. If I need a special app, it's not a podcast. If I can't download to listen offline on a device of my choosing it's not a podcast. Looking at you BBC Sounds and Spotify.
