MacVoices #25219: Live! – Spotify Security Shenanigans, Microsoft’s Tricks, Amazon Podcast Strategy
Spotify faces backlash after exposing listener data, including the questionable musical tastes of one high-profile user, raising questions about default privacy settings. Amazon restructures Wondery, cutting staff while shifting podcasts under Audible and exploring video strategies, sparking debate about the future of scripted, high-production shows. Finally, Microsoft draws criticism from Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, and Mark Fuccio for quietly steering Bing users toward Copilot, highlighting growing competition in AI search and the blurred lines between helpful integration and aggressive promotion.
