       I’ve never listened to a Spotify “podcast” so I’m pretty sure I won’t miss them.https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/spotify-layoffs-podcast-industry-fallout/

       @dave Ironically, their podcast push was what drove me *away* from Spotify despite being a big podcast consumer.

       @dave Same. It’s as bad a podcast platform as it is a good music platform, and I refuse to listen to any show that’s exclusive to a platform. I loved Season 1 of Crimetown. They went Spotify excloo for Season 2. Bye.

       @dave I think this is a case of growth hungry product managers confusing podcast with syndicated radio program.Instead of focusing on one thing (on demand music streaming) and doing it well enough to get people to pay for it, they thought it would be a good idea to put all the staff that got them to where they were to work on the "next big revenue space"Just stop it - maybe set your sights at the @somafm level, provide a great service, curated streams and seasonal specialties :-)
