Closed platforms win on sharing because there's one link
Quote
That's the benefit of the closed system is that it all goes through one entity. And so you always have one link. It's always a link to Twitter, a link to YouTube, a link to Spotify.

Summary
Tom says creators want the biggest potential audience. Dave says the killer is the last step: what link do you share? A YouTube creator posts one YouTube link. A podcaster is stuck choosing between episodes.fm, an Apple web link, or a row of app badges. Everything in a closed system goes through one entity, so there's always one link, and open podcasting has no single distribution link.
Not in the audio. Guest episode (Tom Webster; 0.35 threshold). The cues read as Dave the host responding to Tom (references to Matt, episodes.fm, 'you probably get hate').
