Spotify does not have a trademark on rss podcast delivery. RSS feeds have historically been the primary delivery method for podcasts and it long predates Spotify and the JRE. Many of the most popular or historically significant primarily used RSS: Serial, This American Life, Stuff You Should Know—the list goes on and on. Some podcasts are distributed via video, but even many of those also have a corresponding rss feed for the audio version. Here’s the rss feed for Joe Rogan https://feeds.megaphone.fm/GLT1412515089 https://feeds.megaphone.fm/GLT1412515089 If you use a podcast app today, it is guaranteed to be primarily fetching from RSS feeds. I’m pretty sure the kind of insulting rhetoric you’re using is against the rules here. You may prefer Reddit for starting those kinds of arguments.
