WSJ: Spotify spent over $1 Billion on podcasts. Its not working

[UpAndComing]

The same people saying "There are too many podcasts" are the same people who hates the Big media networks having such a monopoly on which stories get publicized and which stories get buried, and the constant propaganda they spew

Can't have it both ways

 

[Wiseborn]

Too many pods chasing too few ears Z list celebrities think what they got to say is that interesting.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

They could've gave that money to artists for more music.

I hate that certain albums and shyt ain't on there

 

[ViShawn]

I'd rather listen to an audio book instead of a podcast

 

[voiture]

Everyone has a podcast now.

Isnt this the same company that gave that white supremacist anti black bigot joe rogan a huge multimillion dollar deal? i could care less about spotify, i rather they lose revenue enabling and wont be losing any sleep at their irrelevance . You gave someone who called black people apes and the n word on tape millions of dollars, screw you spotify

That’s where Amazon way ahead. I happily pay for Audible and listen to podcast on the same app.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

What was that? I was too busy recording my podcast

Exactly.

First — people don’t want to fuçkin go to Spotify for podcasts even tho it ain’t shít for them to carve out space for it. But it feels forced and sloppily integrated on the platform.

Next, one Joe Rogan cant save all of the rest of these trash podcasters they put on the squad. Maybe he can recoup but the rest can’t

Then, folks aren’t paying a subscription because of a damn podcast — they want MUSIC!!!!

Also, every díckhead with a mic and laptop is suddenly a content creator and 98% of it SUCKS. Who wants to listen to “ummms”, “likes” and vocal frys for an hour on Spotify when I could be listening to MUSIC!!!

If I have a choice to listen to some bozos wack voice or some damn Mariah Carey remixes in a playlist and then Astroworld, I’m choosing MUSIC!!!!


Also, alot of these podcasters and their content SUCKS!!!!!

The market is oversaturated like illegal immgrants flooding the border. But at least you can make use of these fuçkin migrants

I love true crime podcasts Could listen to them all day, especially with the spooky music soundtrack and scripted SFX in the background. Like a mini TV show.

[Buckeye Fever]

There are too many podcasts

People go on Spotify to listen to music


Overcast is the best podcast app

Exactly

 

[Batsute]

Anything that releases every week will eventually become boring. Like others have said barriers to entry are too low and it’s just Twitter in mp3 form at this point.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Not being in the office full time really took away from listening to podcasts for me. There’s a few on my list now, but when I was in the office I was on it heavy.

Radio Rental is fire too ..just all real life horror stories
