With Spotify Premium, users can download music to their devices, listen offline, skip as much music as they. It’s like saying Netflix original shows are video podcasts. Spotify Premium is one of the most worthwhile music subscription services available. They’re not podcasts if they’re exclusive to your platform. When Sirrius XM got the bandwagon I was disappointed. If you love podcasting, run, don't walk, away from this crap! And, maybe most importantly, they won't be cancel-culture immune (or privacy protecting). They won't have 'value block' aspect of their RSS feeds (because they don't have RSS feeds) which allows direct listener to producer financial and communication transactions. None of these 'podcasts' will be available in your favorite podcast app (unless that app is that particular platform's), and they won't have the coming Podcasting 2.0 features unless those particular platform/players ALSO add them. This might sound like semantics to some, but it is really important to maintain this distinction for the future of podcasting. The 'podcasts' behind their paywall are Apple Audio Shows, not podcasts. Note, if you're luring to YOUR platform and charging a subscription, etc. In an effort to lure content creators to the platform, Spotify is letting podcasters keep 100% of subscription revenue - minus processing fees.
