The Fountain podcast app is corrupt bullshit It's NOT "Powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network" It's a custodial bank account, closed source app, hosted on Amazon, with Gmail verification, letting you insert an RSS feed to one government domain. Unlike the Arweave RSS system I presented yesterday, Which is true and genuine freedom and censorship resistance by transcending physical locations with the files served on a 30+ gateway global CDN, going directly peer-to-peer, With Fountain, you're putting your private Nostr key in a closed source mobile app, served to you by the censorship oppressors Google and Apple. They use the word "open" on their website, but their github doesn't have the code itself: You think you're using peer-to-peer Bitcoin? It's a custodial bank account. Look at this bullshit: "Fountain charges a 4% transaction fee on top of every payment you make to a podcast but you can join Fountain Premium to reduce your fees to just 1%. We also charge 10 sats for comments and replies to reduce spam." In Summary: --Not Bitcoin, it's a bank account. --Zero Censorship Resistance, Regular Files --Insert Private Nostr key into closed source --Heavy integration with Big Tech --Surveillance of who is listening --Leeching Bitcoin fees for RSS feeds and Nostr, which are both peer-to-peer without Fountain You're being manipulated to reject real solutions like Arweave RSS, so these institutions can maintain power and control.

100%. i neither use their app nor would i ever import my nsec there. its remarkable how every time when they attend a podcast show no one ever is going to ask them why their app is closed-source. totally staged. and i already noticed that so far they dodged every question on nostr regarding the closed-sourceness
