Hot take
Spotify for Creators has stepped up its game as an all-in-one platform for podcasters, letting creators manage shows, track analytics, and engage with listeners across both audio and video formats. The latest updates bring more tools for audience growth, including features like comment reactions, short-form clips, and video monetization that pays creators based on actual engagement rather than just ad impressions. Premium subscribers now get uninterrupted video viewing, which is a major plus for video podcasters aiming for deeper fan connection. However, Spotify still draws criticism for the relatively closed nature of its ecosystem and the revenue split remains less transparent for music creators compared to podcasting. While it's not the most open platform, the constant feature updates and improved monetization options make it a powerful hub for podcast and video creators who don't mind playing inside Spotify's walled garden.
