iOS user here that is a longtime Spotify subscriber. By all other accounts I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem but After multiple free or cheap multi month trials on Apple Music I’m still not sold.

Most podcasters that are made an offer that they can’t refuse, probably won’t refuse.

Well, seeing that Apple Music doesn’t host podcasts and there is a separate podcast app with all your other podcast, how does Apple Music play into it?

Would you take your website off the web and host your content exclusively as a Facebook page?

You go where consumers are. I mean there are plenty of businesses that don't have their own web page, but do have a facebook page. Not only is it free, but it is easier to set up. Plus you know that is where all your consumers spend all their time. So if I were a small podcast and knew I could reach the most audience on Spotify that is where I would be.

Spotify only has about 10% of consumers and now if you go exclusively to Spotify, you aren’t reachable by the most popular podcast apps.
