I think the bigger point here is that Apple&#x27;s benign neglect has resulted in a vibrant, growing market for high quality podcasts.<p>Contrast that to the AppStore, which for the most part is a race to the bottom. The only people directly making money are the skinner-box game developers and Apple.<p>Podcasts are a great anti-Amazon weapon -- they displace Audible and radio. So it won&#x27;t be ignored for long. I sincerely hope that Apple uses Podcasts as a model for a better AppStore, not another place to setup a toll booth for their 30% vig.
