1/6 - Activitystreams are the W3C standard we need to accurately measure and share podcast listening metrics?
1. The Problem
Counting downloads is a legacy metric of Podcasting 1.0. Like the Monty Python parrot, it's dead - remember a download is not a listen.
Equally the recent proprietary play count measurement suggested by Spotify, Apple and YouTube is inconsistent between these apps and thus not comparable. And with each app enabling auto-plays, did someone really play your podcast?
