Last week I suggested, in a LinkedIn comment, that podcasters should all walk off Spotify together and keep them honest.
Then I went and looked into how you'd actually do it. And that's when the truth of the situation emerged. And OMFG is it a situation.
So this episode was going to be the good news about organising a walkout. Instead it's the honest version of why we can't.
In this episode:
— Where's the button to leave Spotify
— One tap to skip you, a support ticket to go
— The free rider problem, and why strikes need strike funds
— Why the trade bodies can't help with this one
— What happened when Neil Young actually tried it
— My own conflict of interest, stated plainly
— The one call to action worth changing this week
