Here's a link that doesn't require an Apple device to listen to https://open.spotify.com/show/0FiS79p7OPZjdGVj25e6kS (would have preferred to link to some home page for the podcast but too lazy to search further)

Bittorrent, semantic tagging, RSS, decentralized aggregation. Ownership . All dead or dying. These companies are all gobbling up the commons and pushing us into serfdom. Apple, Google, the RIAA.

Posting one proprietary address instead of another is not much better. Apple podcasts at least tries to contribute to the open ecosystem by allowing their index to be used by independent apps for free. Spotify does not. Here’s direct link to the podcast website: https://anchor.fm/chapteroneventures Listen directly in the browser without drm, import into your podcast app of choice with rss or download the mp3 locally.
... which still fails the mpv/youtube-dl test.

Oh, so it's not even about making it weird. It's just sloganeering about quaint aesthetics to shovel React tooling?
I expected little, and I was still underwhelmed. Oh well, such is life.

Depending on the business 30% could make the whole enterprise operate at a loss, for example selling audiobooks or media or other real world products.
