You misunderstand. My point is "I empathise and am not surprised that people choose to unsubscribe and go elsewhere if people are being given adverts in podcasts"

Assume the best, not the worst in peoples arguments, please. Cheers.

Maybe I don't understand still.

I wasn't disagreeing with your point. I was adding to it. I agree that if spotify annoy listeners with ads, they'll go elsewhere. Podcasts, unlike music, are (were?) a mostly free media... as in both beer and liberty.

Hence... Spotify has been pursuing exclusives ans a solution to the "why should people listen to our ads" problem.

I haven't listened to Rogan since his RSS feed died. I'm a fan, and I don't mind that he "got the bag", but I'm not going to take part in this attempt to kill podcasting.
