Podcasters, should we all boycott Spotify?

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
