While I like spotify for music there are three things that bug me about it:

• Anker.fm ads. Just a rant I hate anker.fm auto injection ads. If you try sleeping to a pod cast it wil go from normal volume TO SHOUTING ABOUT STATEFARM OR DUNKIN. While this issue also occurs on third party podcasting apps spotify dynamically injects a banner ad into podcast art and hyperlinks the ad. I might be overeacting (I hate these kind of deeplink ads). To be clear I don’t mind host read ads like linus sponsor shoutouts but dynamic ad injection is awfull.

• No chapter support

Podcast republic is a good alternative (assuming your just planning to use it on mobile/web)

Second question would the US gov consider google “to big to fail” and just inject a ton of money to restore it (or give enought time to break it up)?

Kinda curious 😉

There is a self host sync plugin for obsidian (I’m assuming you just want to self host not any other specific reasons)

I currently use it with a self hosted docker instance of couchdb

Edit alternativly their is Joplin (but not sure about how you used obsidian/zotero)
