Yeah. I'm glad they haven't taken off much. I love how open the podcast system is. I'd absolutely hate for it to be ruined.

I'm not actually against paid-for podcasts, but hiving it off into a separate app does not appeal.

How would you deliver paid-for podcasts otherwise? You could put them behind an RSS feed with a ?passcode maybe? Not sure.

That's basically how most Patreon supported podcasters do it - a private feed.
