Juicy exclusive today - YouTube's podcasting plans for RSS. Imagine the worst thing for the podcast industry. It's worse than that. https://podnews.net/update/youtube-rss-plans

@james oh superb. Out of interest, has a large organisation come to save podcasting that hasn't brought a whole host of issues with their "ideas"?

@CrackedWindscreen I don't think YouTube has come to save podcasting - I think it's come to kill it

@james So, replicating what Libsyn has done (make static-image video and upload to YouTube) for 15+ years. Meh. I don’t see these getting enough plays on YT (so YT can place video ads) to keep YTs interest for long. Unless this YT are being methodical and executing the first steps in a larger strategy. History has me skeptical of that, but I won’t rule it out.

@Castopod This is terrifying. Castopod: thank you for staying independent. I hope there is a way to “opt out” of this in the media data in the feed.

@SethK @Castopod As far as I know, there is no need to opt out: just don't opt in and YouTube will ignore you.In case they don't and your feed gets in/di-gested by YouTube anyway, there is an easy way to get it spitted out: insert an ad, YT will instantly block you feed. 😉
