A website or podcast doesn't need to know who am I and where I am ! kinda  .. \n\nNow here is the fundamental difference ... \n\nrss works on top of http(s) ..which means despite good intent (for anonymity of the subscriber), the construct is superficial .. means a hacker can find what I am listening to and where  .. of course there are ways to protect but most users wont employ those tools .. http essentially drives centralization - as happened with the internet overall ... rss is kinda a sliver of goodness residing with in the pool of darkness  :-)  who is better than you to know how strong Apple and Spotify are despite all the good intent  (of rss  community)  ...  \n\nnostr (and bitcoin) is built on gossip protocol .. it obviates the need of central servers .. in that , relays are NOT servers . Server serves me based on my credentials stored with them,  on the other hand , I can simply go to a relay and pick up what is mine - kinda like the difference between a sit down restaurant ( server) and a  Chipotle ( self service) . Crude analogy but the point is in the  \"http world\"  a waiter (third party)  needs to know what I ordered and where I am sitting (location)  .. in \"nostr land\" all that  information grab by middle men is removed by design ..  In addition , what relays store is not the content .. it is simply the rss style fields ..  a specific set of fields for an event type  ... \n\nThus nostr is simply a better core tech  ... that said .. a podcast wouldn't be called a podcast if it didn't support billions of existing user .. we may call it a nostr-cast  but that is a totally different product ..albeit a better one but without any user :-)  ..  just the way I would not call it an EMAIL unless it supports all the smtp and pop  based email clients ..including mut  :-)  \n\nSo the path is to build  a better solution on #nostr and make sure it is backward compatible  ... not only for podcast , but for email too  .. and many more great tools crippled by http  ,,and eventually the entire internet  .. \n\nDisclaimer : My technology  interpretations may be wrong for lack of research on my part ! This thread has ton of great devs to correct me !"}
