       The late majority needs nothing to change. Early adopters move on to systems where the “new stuff” is available.

       > “being able to say, "wherever you get your podcasts" is a _radical statement_. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that _can't_ be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.”
