#2I wonder how much longer Spotify will continue to delude themselves that they can take successful podcasts and put them into their walled garden -- turning off legit, public RSS feeds -- and that it will somehow work out for them. Rumor is that Apple is going to launch premium podcasts and turn off access to the iTunes podcast directory in order to have their own walled garden for select, paid podcasters. Eventually these companies will figure out that OPEN is the only way to go but they will lose money on their walled gardens in the mean time.

Why do you think so? Almost all TV shows are exclusive to their platforms, and they're doing fine. What makes audio different?

#4Seems like it's regulars getting nixed.
Maybe they asked for a cut of the money?

Why wouldn’t it work out for them?

Podcasting is talk radio but born in internet form. Copying and widespread sharing is part of its DNA, much like YouTube videos.

Existing podcast ecosystem is already entrenched. I'm in the process of disentangling myself from all tech monopolies and people are wiser to it now more than ever.
TV shows began on network TV. The whole point of podcasting was anyone can start one. Unlike TV shows, it's quite easy from a technical perspective to host a podcast. Audio talk shows don't have to be high bitrate.
Honestly I think stranglehold on video will similarly fade away when high speed internet is highly available everywhere.

#8Piracy is proving an important defence against censorship. Do your part by paying for and then torrenting that movie!

Streaming services are still significantly more frictionless than what came before it. Moving podcasts into a walled garden makes them harder to access than what we have now.

#10Well that’s silly.
Spotify knew exactly what they bought.
