I think podcasts, like music, should be separate from the hosting platforms. I do listen to podcasts but I’m not choosing my streaming service based on podcast. If it’s not on Spotify or YouTube, I’m not gonna listen to it. I wish companies could thrive without having to continuously grow/expand so they didn’t have to take these risks which end up harming user experience.
I just wish Spotify focused entirely on music. I have not, and will never listen to podcasts on it and yet they are continuously promoted on my feed.
