The Fountain podcast app is corrupt bullshit

It's NOT "Powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network"

It's a custodial bank account, closed source app, hosted on Amazon, with Gmail verification, letting you insert an RSS feed to one government domain.

Unlike the Arweave RSS system I presented yesterday,

Which is true and genuine freedom and censorship resistance by transcending physical locations with the files served on a 30+ gateway global CDN, going directly peer-to-peer,

With Fountain, you're putting your private Nostr key in a closed source mobile app, served to you by the censorship oppressors Google and Apple. They use the word "open" on their website, but their github doesn't have the code itself: https://github.com/fountain-fm

You think you're using peer-to-peer Bitcoin? It's a custodial bank account.

Look at this bullshit:

"Fountain charges a 4% transaction fee on top of every payment you make to a podcast but you can join Fountain Premium to reduce your fees to just 1%. We also charge 10 sats for comments and replies to reduce spam."

In Summary:

--Not Bitcoin, it's a bank account.

--Zero Censorship Resistance, Regular Files

--Insert Private Nostr key into closed source

--Heavy integration with Big Tech

--Surveillance of who is listening

--Leeching Bitcoin fees for RSS feeds and Nostr, which are both peer-to-peer without Fountain

You're being manipulated to reject real solutions like Arweave RSS, so these institutions can maintain power and control.

I wish i new how to say it like this but some will remember me saying things about fountain that i didn't like the file thing i noticed on my phone all the the weird things a non technical guy cant explain ive been saying dont use fountain
