1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,919
This week' s opinion chapter.
I' m going to move it forward

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,320
to Thursday, because tomorrow, as
the last day of May, I have

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:08,960
a review of the agenda you may
have, but good thing I didn'

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,080
t mess with it. Let'
s go with this last episode of the

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,480
week' s opinion. We welcome
you across the microphone. On the other

6
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:20,480
side of the microphone, a project
by Jorge Marín grandson in which you will

7
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:25,280
find your daily ration of metapodcasting,
casting with news, events, tools or

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:32,479
episodes of opinion in just ten minutes. Ten minutes, ten minutes, very

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,000
good. My name is Jorge Marín
and I want to welcome you to IT

10
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:39,759
that you are listening to this on
the other side of the microphone to accompany

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,759
me in a new episode of around
ten fifteen minutes reflecting on some new aspect

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,640
of podcasting that surrounds me. I
usually do these episodes of opinion the last

13
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,439
days of the week on Fridays,
but as tomorrow I have a review of

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,719
the entire agenda within next month.
Today I want to bring it forward to

15
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:02,479
Thursday. You will see lately I
reflect on the amount of games automatically generated

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,280
on our podcasts due to the platforms
and I have noticed this for a reason.

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:15,239
You' ll see and about eight
or nine months ago, I changed

18
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:17,000
my mobile device. For the first
time in my life. I bought an

19
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:23,400
iPhone and the headphones they normally use. The bluetooth headphones they use normally,

20
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,840
well, they have their own play
button and if I' m not listening

21
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:34,359
to a podcast. Recently they automatically
start playing a song through Apple Music.

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,640
Apple Music, I have never signed
up in fact, every time I stop

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,200
this song that now, I will
tell you what is or what are better

24
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:51,640
said takes me to the typical welcome
message of the platform as to hear.

25
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:57,920
We' re seeing that you'
re using music and we want to welcome

26
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,239
you and these are our benefits and
here you' re going to find hundreds

27
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:06,040
of billion songs and all very nice
and we have everyone. And good.

28
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,439
Anyway, I don' t want
to talk about Apple musi Coin, but

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,599
every time I press the play of
my headphones having a podcast, let'

30
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,759
s say far away in time.
If maybe I' m on the headphones

31
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:22,840
but I haven' t heard anything
for half an hour, or an hour

32
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,840
or whatever, for a while,
I' ll give it back to the

33
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,479
play and we' ll automatically play
something on Apple Music, but I never

34
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:30,599
use per Music. I don'
t listen to music. If I listen

35
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:36,240
to any music, I use Spotify
or YouTube, but I' ve never

36
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,960
heard Applemish. Well, the point
is that automatically, automatedly. I don

37
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,960
' t know who told Upple Music
this. And this is where the reflection

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,360
of this episode comes from that I
like you. For whatever it is,

39
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,000
I don' t or yuhue.
If you' re English- speaking,

40
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:58,520
I' m sorry, but here
in Spain you say U two. I

41
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,800
' d swear we' d lay
hands on the fire, because I'

42
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:08,080
ve never looked for U two or
YouTube, or Apple Podcasts, or Spotify

43
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:12,319
or anywhere, because it' s
not a group of my devotion. I

44
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,719
recognize that they make good music.
I like some of his songs, but

45
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,800
I' m not one of his
followers, I' m not a listener.

46
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,319
I' ve never played them on
purpose. However, in an automated

47
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:30,800
way in Apple Music you get these
tunes, these songs and I have never

48
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:36,159
looked for them. I mean someone
has decided that U two or YUHU will

49
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,960
take places for free or automatically take
places from me and I have never set

50
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,360
this up. I don' t
know why I' d like to know

51
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,240
your opinion. If any of you
have iPhone, if any of you have

52
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,039
happened the same and why the hell
do I get U two or YouTube music

53
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,280
automatically without me deciding? If I
ask myself. No one' s ever

54
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,159
told me. Nothing gets on,
but come on. I don' t

55
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,800
know about playce that they' ll
take over every month. They' ve

56
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,560
already reproduced for me. I don' t know maybe six or seven different

57
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,560
songs, because of course, with
so many plays, because there' s

58
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,079
a day I listen to five seconds, there' s another day I listen

59
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,879
to ten seconds, another day thirty
seconds and little by little I' ve

60
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:27,360
been passing automatically song by song by
or two or YouTube, but I'

61
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:28,839
ve never decided to ever give them
a play, and this has led me

62
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,279
to reflect. The same is not
true of some podcast platforms. Sounds like

63
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,959
some podcast platform that automatically triggers some
of those original podcasts or most famous podcasts.

64
00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:46,000
You don' t think they'
re taking free play or reproductions when

65
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,319
people don' t even look for
those podcasts. I, for example,

66
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,160
say I didn' t listen on
purpose, because I' ve never looked

67
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,480
for one of the songs in this
band that I don' t want to

68
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,759
repeat again. I' m not
your follower. However, they have taken

69
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,360
or I don' t know ten
twenty fifty plays a hundred plays in the

70
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,879
last few months automatically without me looking
for it. And this is not the

71
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:15,560
case with podcast platforms. Even having
finished an episode. The podcast platforms don

72
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,600
' t propose you and here you' re not seeing me, but I

73
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,399
' m making a wink. Cod, elbow, quotes, quotes, they

74
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,000
don' t propose you, they
don' t provoke you. Rather the

75
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,639
word would be to provoke more than
to propose that you give the play or

76
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,240
that you add a playback that you
add a download to a podcast than not

77
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:41,360
the one that you are not listening
to to see if you like to increase

78
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:48,639
their statistics as a veiled suggestion,
to what extent automations will be made to

79
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:53,319
cause some of these podcasts to go
up on some lists. This is a

80
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:59,040
reflection that some of us know the
answers, because we know a little how

81
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,879
some platforms move and how they cause
one podcast to go to another or that

82
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,399
automatically a podcast brings another guest so
that you go to listen to their episode

83
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:18,040
or go to listen to their content
because you have really liked their expected appearance

84
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:24,920
in another project and gradually they are
self nourishing recommendations so that they always appear

85
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,560
in the recommendations or in their tops, their own creations, or even their

86
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,360
own creations? Not people who are
saying they' re pushing their podcasts based

87
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:42,399
on putting tickets into their projects.
It' s cool to do podcast promotion

88
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,920
and it' s great to sponsor
other podcasts here. In fact, I

89
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,319
' ve had some sponsors in the
last few weeks, but in that way

90
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:51,040
it seems much more legal, much
more honest. Hey, look, I

91
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,439
want to advertise on this site and
I know that that has a price,

92
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:02,720
but cause algorithms to add up to
me download, put me ahead of others

93
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,120
automatically hang me over and over again
and over again. As I was saying,

94
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:13,040
I' m not a follower of
u two or YouTube on any platform,

95
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,680
because I' ve never been given
to look for their songs. However,

96
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,759
without wanting to, I have given
them fifty or a hundred plays,

97
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:24,680
because yes on how many devices in
the world they may be doing the same.

98
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,480
How many iPhones there are in the
world that have automatically on Apple Music,

99
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:32,639
put on YouTube or two, and
that makes them upload their reproductions,

100
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:39,319
their statistics and even take good benefits
from this. Now let' s go

101
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,160
to Spotify, go to Evox or
Apple Podcast. Let' s multiply it

102
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:46,879
by the number of podcast listeners.
What podcasts are benefiting from these types of

103
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:51,399
strategies. There I leave this week' s reflection so that we all think

104
00:07:51,600 --> 00:08:05,399
about what algorithms do with our devices. Inadvertently, and now I' m

105
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,879
leaving suspiciously, yes, and I' m going back to that place where

106
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:22,600
you are right now, across the
microphone,
