About Audiobooks and Gated Content
In the past few months, Spotify announced two new feature sets to the world: Paid Subscriptions, which allows any podcaster to put content behind paywalls, and Spotify Open Access, which allows users to listen on Spotify to content that is paid for on third party sites and services. Both of these are in service of a much broader mission: enabling everyone to listen to all of the paid audio that exists in the world on Spotify, from podcasts to audiobooks and beyond. In the coming years, Spotify will redefine what it means for creators to monetize their work, as well as how listeners discover and gain access to that paid content. This is an exceptionally exciting and impactful new opportunity for Spotify, and will help craft the platform for years to come.
