Spotify podcast subscription service is now available to the global market

For a long time, Spotify, as the leading music streaming service, only provided streaming music. However, in the past few years, the service has increasingly turned its attention to podcasts. Spotify is now one of the most popular podcast streaming services, and they have been working hard to acquire studios and exclusive agreements. Now, another change in podcasting on Spotify is uncovering all over the world.Spotify launched a podcast subscription service earlier this year, which basically allows creators to provide paid subscriptions for their shows and provide additional rewards. Many podcasts are already using a similar model, but through third-party services such as Patreon, returning to Spotify can bring more income to creators. Spotify has stated that it will not make any cuts in subscription revenue in the first two years, mainly to gain market share. However, starting in 2023, it will charge a 5% fee.Initially, podcast subscription services were only available in the United States, but starting today, they will be promoted to 33 other countries and regions. The complete list includes Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania , Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Spotify said that Canada, Germany, Austria and France will join the list next week.At the same time, Spotify without podcast subscriptions is now starting to launch in six other countries, including Iraq, Libya, Tajikistan, Venezuela, the Republic of Congo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
