The author conflates individual YouTube channels with "publishers" which is nonsense. The publisher is YouTube. You don't read 10 different "publishers" when you read stories in a newspaper by 10 different journalists. Are we also going to say that watching, say, 20 TikToks from different creators is consuming content from 20 publishers? I sure don't think so. The whole idea of the article seems like nonsense to me. "Spotify for news" is your web browser or the home screen on your phone that has five different news/social media apps. We don't need another layer in between.
