Build independent feed sources instead of scraping Apple
Quote
I don't want to scrape Apple to try to find new feeds on a contract basis. I just feel like this ideologically opposed to the thing we're trying to do, which is not dependent on them.

Summary
Dave thanks Fireside for being the first host to auto-submit new feeds to the Index. He won't routinely scrape Apple to find new feeds; that would contradict the goal of not depending on Apple. Independent streams from hosts, republished through a clearinghouse endpoint, build a decentralized index where Apple could someday be just another peer.

We all distribute amongst each other. And then what you have is not a single silo of feeds, right? You everybody participates?

I have no interest in scraping Apple or some other service to get this ranking information. I'm just not doing it. I'm gonna have, we have to find other ways to live outside of that of that silo.

what we'll have at the end of the day is, is is a decentralized index, where everybody can participate.
