Spotify will cut white-noise podcasts from its Ambassador Ads program, according to a Bloomberg report. White-noise creators can make $18,000 a month curating nature sounds for background listening. A Bloomberg memo showed Spotify thought white-noise podcasts cost them $38 million annually. An anonymous source told Bloomberg that because white-noise listeners play shows in the background, the Ambassador Ads, which are part of Spotify's marketing budget, was not money well spent. White-noise podcasts feature loops of calming sounds, ranging from thunderstorms and bird calls to pure static noise.

The new rules threaten to shutter thousands of short-term rentals and fundamentally redraw what kinds of apartments and homes are used for short-term rentals in New York City. Data site Inside Airbnb estimates there are 40,000 Airbnb listings alone, while an economic study prepared for Airbnb by Boston University Professor Michael Salinger estimates that number is closer to 36,000. One reason for New York City's crackdown is a concern over how short-term rentals squeeze an already incredibly tight housing market. "But a lot of short-term-rental hosts are getting caught up in this lazy sweep." Currently, the average daily rate for New York City listings on Airbnb and Vrbo is $251, according to AirDNA.
