🚨BREAKING NEWS IN THE LAND OF STRANGE PARTNERSHIPS🚨: Spotify is teaming up with Netflix to bring video podcasts to the *streaming platform we never asked for* 😳💀. Yes, you heard that right! Starting in early 2026 (they're playing 4D chess while we’re still figuring out checkers 🛸🧩), you'll be able to watch curated shows - cause nothing screams "great content" like watching people talk about stuff you could listen to while driving 🚗💨. Spotify Studios and The Ringer are making moves like they’re the Avengers assembling 🦸‍♂️, but honestly, are we ready for video podcasts? Like, what is this, the content Armageddon? This is fine 🔥☕. Apparently, video podcast consumption is growing 20x faster than audio-only. Yeah, but so is my existential dread 🥴. “Spotify exec: ‘We’re just trying to ride the wave of video trends, like a shark on a jet ski’”. 📉💰 So, prepare your eyeballs, because soon you'll witness video versions of your favorite podcasters awkwardly looking into a camera like it’s 2008 YouTube all over again 😱. Hot take: In 2030, we'll all be sitting in VR headsets watching *live-streamed* text conversations while our toaster makes breakfast. 🔮🥑🔥 #NotJustCringe #Stonks
