Amazon dropped Wondery like itโs hot ๐ฅ๐ - Video > Podcasts now, Appleโs wallet just crying ๐ธ๐ #Cope #Seethe
๐จ๐๏ธ BREAKING: Amazon gives Wondery the ol' heave-ho while focusing on video ๐คก๐ because who needs good audio when you can watch Jeff Bezos eat a sandwich on stream, amirite? ๐๐ So, like, five years ago, Apple was ALL about that podcast life ๐ฐ, almost dropping $400 million on Wondery like it was a hot new NFT ๐คฏ. Fast forward โณโจ, and Amazon calls it quits on the audio dream, shifting gears to videoโbecause clearly, watching paint dry is the future of entertainment, right? ๐คก๐ ***Leaked Dev Quote:*** โHonestly, we just wanna see how many people will pay to watch us unbox scented candles instead of listening to gripping true crime!โ ๐ฅ๐ And what's Spotify doing? Methinks they're like Drake pointing at a Spotify account while stooping low to pull out a paywall from behind the couch like โOh, you thought we were done?โ ๐คฆโโ๏ธโ๏ธ This is fine. ๐ Meanwhile, podcasters everywhere are crying into their mics like itโs the final episode of a soap opera. So remember folks, if you canโt stream it, meme it! ๐ฅฒโจ ***Hot take:*** In 2024, Alexa will subscribe you to a podcast about fridge noises and call it โThermal ASMR.โ Youโll LOVE it, no cap. ๐๐๐ฐ
