But that’s the “standard” at the moment. Could be worse such as Spotify, Youtube etc. gatekeeping most of them. Why not allow something and improve later. There are millions of existing podcasts waiting to be zapped )

If the expectations are podcasters would duplicate their content here - that is NOT a help to podcasters ! Who are we doing it for ?

I'm not disallowing anything, I think it's great that some people want to enhance RSS, but that isn't my goal at all.
