Spotify Is Rolling Out Public-Facing Podcast Ratings
https://www.tubefilter.comSpotify is launching a new podcast product aimed at amplifying discoverability – and porting over a feature that has become familiar on podcast forebearer Apple.
The streaming giant is rolling out today a user-submitted rating function, which will enable listeners to rate podcasts using a five-star system, with an ensuing tally — including both the average star rating and total number of votes — being publicly displayed.
Creators can’t opt out of having their shows rated, though listeners can only submit one after they’ve tuned in for at least 30 seconds.
Podcast ratings are arriving in nearly all markets where podcasts are available in coming days.
