A lot of tech journalism is just reporting leaks with no analysis or attempt to put the leak in context.
The story states that Spotify believes it could make $38 million more in profits if it stopped hosting podcasts with white noise like crashing waves that people use for sleep sounds.
What I don’t get is how a podcast of birds chirping is worse financially for Spotify than listening to Drake’s music or a Joe Rogan podcast? That would be an actually informative story
