“Like buying your books from a local indie bookseller or supporting local farmers or even reading deeper than the first three sponsored Google search results, living and consuming (food, clothing, art, information) in a way that preserves some amount of choice and integrity sometimes requires being OK with friction. And that friction extends to the creators and media companies, too. It’s easy to record, upload, and publish podcast episodes from directly inside the Spotify for Podcasters system. They’ll even help you sell ads and make money! But what you give up is wide distribution of your work.”
