If you listen to podcasts on Youtube then consider if that podcast is available on Spotify. Even channels that are not podcasts, such as Epic History or Voices of the Past are available on Spotify.
Yeah, exactly what we don’t need!
At this stage, if a podcast exists on Spotify then I will not listen to it on other platforms either (even if I liked it).
Then you’re not listening to Podcasts I guess.
Does Spotify really only host podcasts of people who put it there, or are they simply aggregating whatever and mirroring it?
If they display the Spotify logo anywhere, promote or mention that their podcast is on Spotify, or “all platforms” I unsubscribe. And yes, I’m having to unsubscribe from many of my favourites. But I’ve been reading more as a result (or “reading”, using text to speech with ebooks).
Same here
Recently encountered a ton of Ai Playlists on Spotify
Nobody needs another commercialized shithole like the youtube of today.
Bring back something like the pre google youtube and we can talk.
Until then I will keep avoiding it and limit my online media consumption.
While there’s a ton of valid critique that can be directed towards Spotify, I’m not exactly on board with some of the other comments in here.
Competition to Youtube in the form of Spotify is absolutely far from ideal, I still fail to see how serious competition for a monopoly like Youtube can be bad though.
While I’d love to see alternatives like PeerTube to become a serious competition, I don’t think it’s anywhere close to becoming reality anytime soon. If in the meantime platforms like Spotify could become a serious competitioner to Youtube, it could potentially lead to improved quality and/or service improvements for consumers.
So yeah, I’d wish for something better but I also won’t be mad about a competitoner that could shake up things a bit when it comes to the monopoly position that Youtube currently holds.
