After 15 years on Twitter, even writing scientific papers about tweets, I have finally set my account to "inactive". I have already slowed down in recent months, sticking around mainly for the (Austrian) journalists. But now that they are leaving too ... bye bye. #eXit

nach @ArminWolf kommen Politiker wegen Einschaltquote in die #ZiB2. @mnikbakhsh beweist mit @diedunkelkammer u. kritischen Fragen an Peter Gridling, dass auch in Podcasts möglich. Ein starkes & erfrischendes Lebenszeichen in der Podcastwelt mit üblichen Kuschelkursinterviews.

GOOD: managers picking up small tasks or stepping in for a sick team member BAD: managers picking up core components of technical deliverables or the most challenging technical work, causing other people to block on them or miss out on the learning opportunity.

To truly support and fortify this unique system, I encourage you to explore beyond the mainstream platforms. Opt for independent podcatchers such as AntennaPod or PocketCasts that are often a way better than the music focused Spotify app.

Find a a full list of podcatchers at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o… . By making this choice, you contribute more than just your listenership; you actively support a media landscape that values independence and creator diversity.

In reality, only Spotify Originals receive direct financial support from Spotify. The vast majority of us, I guess 99.9% of podcasters, don’t receive any portion of subscription fees.

Despite this, podcasting remains an open and free medium, a testament to its resilience and significance, as highlighted by @anildash in his article anildash.com/2024/02/06/wher… . This freedom is not just rare, it's a powerful statement about the essence of podcasting.

Major platforms like Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and YouTube essentially harvest podcast episodes from a decentralized ecosystem to redistribute them.

As a podcaster, I often hear the assumption that my work is financially supported through Spotify subscriptions, similar to musicians. Unfortunately, this is a common misconception... 🧵
