If it's on Spotify does it still count as a "podcast"?

#12This reminds me of Howard Stern’s move to Sirius.
I would love if Spotify would allow podcast creators to set music breaks and play my music in between some of the more segmented podcast episodes.

#13Rogan said in his instagram post the podcast will stay free, I don’t think this will drive down listenership. With spotify hosting the content he will be able to have Jamie pull up lots more because of fair use, YouTube’s ContentId won’t pull the videos and steal the ad revenue. I think this is the biggest motivation for the move as he is often frustrated with that issues. Also continuing to put clips on YouTube will continue to grow the audience. I’d love to know how much the deal was worth, I bet somewhere around 150 million a year for 3-5 years.

#14So I won't be able to watch the full episodes on YouTube any longer?
Where will the videos be hosted?
Answer to my own question: Spotify began testing video podcasting last year according to The Verge - https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/19/21263927/joe-rogan-spotif...
I guess now I'm wondering if all of his existing clips and episodes will disappear from YouTube? I would think not... but I don't ever recall finding any podcast on Spotify from a Google search result. Findability might take a hit.

#15Joe initially said he didn't want to go to Spotify because they don't pay creators. I guess a few million made that thought go away.
More than a few is my guess

#16They must be paying him a shitload. He has spoken with multiple guests about how he loves being independent, having full control etc.

#17Does this mean it will no longer be on Youtube? That really sucks because I like reading the comments even if they are 90% banter.

#19Ben Thompson & James Allworth had a nice discussion recently on the podcasting space and how Spotify is posed to close over this space. https://overcast.fm/+BihnTujyQ Disregarding over all the negatives of centralizing podcast discovery in one place, I would love to pay one fee and get 0 ads on all the episodes. Where the money is then distributed to the podcast hosts I listen to the most (like Spotify does already w…
Spotify is free with ads though. So it's more like Joe isn't running his own ad program, but instead letting Spotify run the ads, or provide premium ad-free tier.

I just hate how Spotify is trying to bring music back into the pre-download era.
As a society, we somehow decided paying for and downloading DRM-free music is acceptable (though strangely not for movies and shows), but now you have albums becoming Spotify exclusives, and (just like with movies and shows) I can either sign up for this streaming service or hope I can download 'em through torrent or YouTube[0]. :T Ech
