Bot-charged Spaces and farewell to Stitcher

#TwitterSpaces #SocialAudio #Stitcher

Bots have been a hot topic of conversation for Twitter Spaces this week - from hosts trying to boost the numbers to Twitter using them for testing. This week we talk about the changes we have seen in Spaces recently; declining live listeners, fewer people hitting the replay button plus more glitches creeping in. Meanwhile, podcasting is saying farewell to popular player app Stitcher and Bloomberg’s looking to YouTube to expand the reach of audio content.

Are bots being used by Spaces hosts to inflate the numbers?
