For now at least you don’t need accounts to subscribe (I use Focus Podcasts from f-droid to manage my podcasts) but I wish more podcasters would self host and have no doubt that eventually Podcasts will end up behind the paywalls.

A pay for a handful of podcasts, but at the end of the day they’re all still just mp3s on an rss feed. None of them have any way to control how I download or play those mp3s

eventually Podcasts will end up behind the paywalls.

It already sort of happens. For a while, a couple podcasts I used to listen to went behind a paywall as Spotify exclusives. I guess I don’t know for sure if they required a Spotify subscription, but since I didn’t want to install an app just to listen to two or three podcasts, it might as well have been a paywall.
