POLL: Future of Patreon Integrations

Added 2024-03-15 18:04:31 +0000 UTC

Ok I'm going to keep this short & to the point: I understand there have been some recent issues with our Patreon Acast integration. For the last few years, we've been using Acast to streamline how you connect Patreon with your various podcatchers, and it has seemed to mostly work.

However, we've also had the option of activating a Patreon integration with Spotify, so Spotify users would be able to get their Chapo Patreon eps right in the Spotify app. BUT, to do this we'd have to de-activate Acast (meaning some people might theoretically have to reconnect their Patreon RSS feed with their podcast apps). I've been hesitant to do this since I know people justly have issues with Spotify, and the Acast thing was basically working, so why change. But now that Acast is on the fritz, I figured it would be a good time to take the temperature on moving over to Spotify.

So here's the poll: Fix Acast or Activate Spotify Integration? I'll let this run through the weekend then make whatever move wins.

Thanks, and enjoy one of the very few times we'll intentionally solicit feedback from you all,
