Spotify is not attempting to add value. Spotify is attempting to extract value.

And they are having trouble extracting value.

Spotify's podcast experience is far far worse than Pocket Casts, an app I've had on android for years and years.

Indeed, to me, Spotify is devalueing podcasts. The UX is so terrible compared to any other Podcast app that a podcast on Spotify to me is worse than the same podcast on another platform that I can consume with any other podcast client.
