Interesting, and I’m happy he has launched a podcast, but not interesting enough to me personally to get me to pay €4/month for it. I’d rather it had ads at the start and have it be free, to be perfectly honest.
@chrismessina I have, and I disagree that it’s a dichotomy between a closed Spotify ecosystem and an open subscription based one. I don’t use Spotify to listen to my podcasts, and I do support some smaller ones, but overall it’s entirely feasible to have an open and ad-based podcast imo. Granted he’s now massive, but Tim Ferriss tried subscriptions and it didn’t work for him, for example.
I really like Ben Thompson. Gruber on the other hand has never proven himself to be any more than a critic. I'm not interested in Gruber's take on Ben's ideas. If it's two hours of Ben taking Gruber to school I still won't listen.
