Times are changing. Old people still watch government propaganda on TV and read various newspapers, but all of that stuff is housed in a (government) controlled holding company. Boomers and youngsters hang over their mobile Google collar almost all day long. Podcast is 'hot' now, but governments are trying to silence these people by repeatedly condemning podcasters for their statements when they contradict with their policy 'vision' Just listen to a podcast like noagenda ( https://www.noagendashow.net/ )
What remains is uncensored media on Blockchain?
But who can then openly express their opinion about something without having to remain anonymous?
Agree - podcasts are hot. Unfortunately the RSS dissemination was captured by Spotify and Apple. Podcast 2.0 lead the way with V4V with apps like Fountain. #Nostr will be the next step in freeing podcasts, leveraging the network effect, being compensated (zaps) and if need be, anon. zap.stream is a great first step in this direction.
