I cannot support the direction @Spotify is headed any longer. Their approach to podcasts is incredibly dangerous for the free and open future of independent media. A music streaming service that prioritises a podcaster over a musician is clearly not a music streaming service.

Pretty ridiculous in my opinion - how is their direction for podcasts any different than the other streaming services? People have a choice if they want to listen to podcasts on their platform or one that's hosted freely and supported by Ad's. yor actions have more harm.

They sign exclusive conracts for topical podcast content. You DO pay. What are ads? What misinformation would a less savvy tech guy not suss out. Misinformation is human, and your Boris epitomizes very similar use of it purposefully. Know that VAT of yours? You pay. At least NIH!
