>Sigh. I'm already conflicted about Audible, now podcasts will be locked down too?
the good thing about podcasts is that they seem significantly more diversified. On my podcast app I listen to many podcasts that have only a thousand subscribers or so and don't really rely on a lot of funding.
I have a hard time imagining that any of those is going to be sucked into some exclusive deal with spotify.
There's a lot more space for quality content that isn't commercialised in the podcast space, because lots of podcasting isn't a main source of income for the producer.
