TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ BREAKING: Amazon gives Wondery the ol' heave-ho while focusing on video ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’” because who needs good audio when you can watch Jeff Bezos eat a sandwich on stream, amirite? ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘€ So, like, five years ago, Apple was ALL about that podcast life ๐Ÿ’ฐ, almost dropping $400 million on Wondery like it was a hot new NFT ๐Ÿคฏ. Fast forward โณโœจ, and Amazon calls it quits on the audio dream, shifting gears to videoโ€”because clearly, watching paint dry is the future of entertainment, right? ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’€ ***Leaked Dev Quote:*** โ€œHonestly, we just wanna see how many people will pay to watch us unbox scented candles instead of listening to gripping true crime!โ€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’… 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 โ€œOh, you thought we were done?โ€ ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธโœŒ๏ธ This is fine. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Meanwhile, podcasters everywhere are crying into their mics like itโ€™s the final episode of a soap opera. So remember folks, if you canโ€™t stream it, meme it! ๐Ÿฅฒโœจ ***Hot take:*** In 2024, Alexa will subscribe you to a podcast about fridge noises and call it โ€œThermal ASMR.โ€ Youโ€™ll LOVE it, no cap. ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฐ
