It's done via RSS feeds that the podcast creators then submit to aggregators. Then apps pull that information down from said aggregators. This website explains the gist of it.

Yeah the locking down podcasts for exclusivity to me is really fucking toxic and totally counter to what podcasts used to stand for. Really pissed me off when Gimlet went Spotify only and Reply All was no longer available elsewhere. Very anti consumer.
Email newsletters kinda are too. You use a service to send them, but the list itself remains yours and can be moved around. No algorithm bullshit in your way. They're making a comeback lately it seems.
I think he was a pretty solid choice for Last of Us
Twitter was a publicly traded company when he bought it and Dorsey only had like 2% of shares by then.
Yeah I agree the fee should be up front, otherwise customers aren't gonna do it. And it should be mandatory that companies participate. There's way too much consumer waste.
Settle down dude.
A big chunk of the comic art people from twitter went there. The art community on Mastodon is very mid. So that's a big part of why I like Bluesky.
And while I don't care about following journalists personally, that's arguably one of the major things people want out of a twitter-like platform. Breaking news.
Threads is much worse for celebrity bullshit.
Yeah but if mastodon itself (the community and content) isn't better, then it's a moot point
I really wanna like mastodon more and have tried 3 different instances now (2 niche and one larger instance) but I like the community on bluesky better for my particular niche. It seems to be where a lot of art twitter went when things got shitty over there.
There is no scenario where a company doing this would not be paid for by customers in a roundabout way. So if we want to require that every company to do this, that means every company is going to balance their finances to make it happen and if it costs them money, it costs us money.
Sure are a lotta bots in this thread
