To the supreme court they go… I think we can predict the voting there down to the individual justice.
I generally hate them in consumer-targeted apps. Theoretically, there’s nothing wrong with the model. Devs have to keep the lights on, especially if there is a cloud service behind the app. It’s all about what pricing model they set. However, pricing is hard. A lot of companies really screw this up right at the start. I also think a lot of businesses cannot resist the temptation to boil the frog and ask for more and more over time, until their pricing is way out of alignment with value delivery.

I think it’s because privacy is less an issue with podcasts (ads don’t have as many options to track) and enshitification of the experience has been on a slower roll than, say, youtube. Lately some solutions are out there in the form of commercial apps but they are limited and who knows if their biz model will survive. I’d like to see an open source solution but I haven’t found one.
NPR New Music Friday is helpful a lot of the time
It’s all a bit of an arms race (to the bottom). If my competition is freely allowed to obscure the true cost, I’m at a disadvantage not to do the same. Government intervention is needed.

Well said, Onion. This guy is soooo corrupt!
It’s the party of grift. Don’t expect anything to change. Keep the plebs angry and afraid, endorse the racism they require, and rake it in while they serve their true masters, the 1%.
Agreed. Best thing for him would be to STFU, but he seems incapable.
That’s rich.
Oh cool, I did not know about this
