- It's not as upbeat as I would have liked, but SirSpencer, who's basically also been a strong supporter of Podcasting 2.0 from very early on, reached out to me with a message, where he said he would like to put "attention to the unfair centralized nature of Wavlake's business model. I would be very grateful to you for helping address this pressing issue in the decentralized music space"
- "They only display music from artists who have uploaded tracks to their centralized service, then they make a custom feed for that artist with a 100% value split to Wavlake. Then they allow artists to withdraw 90% of all the boosted and streamed sats and keep 10%. If you don't upload to Wavlake and pay their 10% fee you can't be shown in Wavlake (no self-hosted music)"

- An Update on Changes to Spotify’s Podcast Business, June 2023 — Spotify
- Below is an adaptation of an internal update on Spotify’s Podcast Business from Sahar Elhabashi, VP, Head of Podcast Business.
- In early 2019, we saw an opportunity to invest in the small but rapidly growing podcasting space, and since then, we have helped transform the industry…
- Spotify is now the most-used audio podcast platform in most corners of the world and is also the No. 1 podcast publisher in the U.S.
- There are now more than 100 million Podcast listeners on Spotify (10x growth)
- Since we entered the space, over half a billion people have listened to a podcast on Spotify
- Consumption has grown more than 1,400%
- Podcast content has increased from 200,000 titles to over 5 million shows on Spotify
- 165 of Spotify’s Original and Licensed shows hit #1 on our charts across 99 markets in 2022
- Podcast ad revenue experienced high double-digit growth from 2021 to 2022
- In addition to fueling a revolution for the medium, this massive group of creators and listeners has also taught us an enormous amount about where podcasting is today and where it is going tomorrow. We know that creators have embraced the global audience on our platform but want improved discovery to help them grow their audience. We also know that they appreciate our tools and creator support programs but want more optionality and flexibility in terms of monetization. Fortunately, Spotify is not a company that ever sits still.
- Given these learnings and our leadership position, we recently embarked on the next phase of our podcast strategy, which is focused on delivering even more value for creators (and users!). This begins with maximizing consumption from the massive audience we’ve established through format innovation and ensuring that more creators in more places achieve success. Simultaneously, in collaboration with the podcasting community, we are broadening our analytics capabilities by expanding Spotify For Podcasters, which will help creators maximize their audience on Spotify and beyond. Underpinning this effort is a continued leveling up of our advertising offerings and the introduction of more business models to help more creators make meaningful money from their work.
- We are expanding our partnership efforts with leading podcasters from across the globe with a tailored approach optimized for each show and creator. This fundamental pivot from a more uniform proposition will allow us to support the creator community better. However, doing so requires adapting; over the past few months,
