My thinking is if the podcaster wants his metadata, he can get some skin in the game and host it himself or pay for hosting instead of relying on the apps to run his business for him.

Maybe they should host with Fountain if they want their metadata.

And I think Strike has a Webhook api. I know Alby does.

1) I send you the data, you send me a unique url
2) I send the payment and include the unique url in the message.
3) Fountain hosted wallets get the payment with the message, look in the database to find the metadata that's tied to that unique url found in the message and marks it as paid or verified.
4) You don't have to trust any of the apps, just that your wallet got the payment with the unique url generated by your server.

Why are none of the PC2.0 hosting companies stepping up to host metadata for their podcasters?

As an app dev, I'd be more than happy to POST the metadata that was in a TLV record to your server so you could build a badass dashboard to show your podcasters their stats.

I'm more than happy POSTing for your podcasters, but I'm not interested in HOSTing.

This seems like a perfect opportunity for a hosting company like Fountain or Truefans to offer a service that would entice podcasters to partner with them.

"Sign up for my hosting and we'll store all your metadata and create a sweet dashboard to display your stats and messages."

If we set the motion in the wrong direction, we may never actually get to where we should. In this case, it seems better to not move than to move in the wrong direction. The first host to offer metadata hosting will will be able to offer a service that no other host is, but the apps doing it for the host only allows them to drag their feet longer.

This whole business of having 20 different apps all hosting their own messages is stupid. The podcaster ends up needing a server anyway to go through all the invoices, fetch each message from each app, then display it in a user friendly way. If they're going to need a server to do that anyway, let's cut out the part where each app stores their metadata and the app can just send the metadata straight to their server instead.
