This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Podcasters that upload to Spotify have the option of inserting ads and making money from this

Most of my podcasts don't but some do, actually I think the ABC is the only one that does, and it says if you don't want to hear advertising use their podcast app, so maybe it's a way of punishing us for not using their app

Then again besides the ABC's If you're listening all my other podcasts are french language learning ones...

Did they stop just grabbing podcasts from the free web and playing them in Spotify? I remember from a few years ago that some podcasts were complaining and willing to sue Spotify for stealing their content.

I can't find anything on this at all

That was some discourse in the podcasts, in Germany at the time which has a pretty big community

I don't care for podcasts at all, it's just because they're adjacent to the app I use the most that I stumbled upon them, the ones I listen to don't have ads except the abc's if you're listening and it's what, 30 seconds for something I listen to maybe once a month?
