Some podcasts have chapters, chapter art, show notes, etc. “Accidental Tech Podcast” is a good example. Spotify sucks for podcasts and they’re trying to kill podcasting so they can take it over.
While I like spotify for music there are three things that bug me about it:
Anker.fm ads. Just a rant I hate anker.fm auto injection ads. If you try sleeping to a pod cast it wil go from normal volume TO SHOUTING ABOUT STATEFARM OR DUNKIN. While this issue also occurs on third party podcasting apps spotify dynamically injects a banner ad into podcast art and hyperlinks the ad. I might be overeacting (I hate these kind of deeplink ads). To be clear I don’t mind host read ads like linus sponsor shoutouts but dynamic ad injection is awfull.
I just use Spotify for podcasts. Unless there’s something I’m missing from other podcast apps, Spotify works great for me.
Spotify is also trying to kill traditional RSS podcasts by buying them up and making them exclusive to Spotify.
Way I see it, if you can’t access it via RSS, then it ain’t a podcast. Fuck Spotify.
same old EEE shit
Yeah I hate them so much for this asshole move. I already “lost” two of my formerly favorite podcasts to them.
Pour one out for Heavyweight.
psst, give Heftyanchor Archive a search
But aren’t the podcast hosts equally responsible for selling out? Or am I missing something (honest question)?
