Think about if or how we aim to support `spotify_stats` (followers, listeners, streams) #165

In https://github.com/EngineeringKiosk/GermanTechPodcasts/pull/161, @djungowski added the following

spotify_stats:
  followers: 5092
  listeners: 10300
  streams: 67592
  updated: "2022-12-28"

We don't support this yet; however, we should consider if we want to support this for a more open podcast system.

An additional question: Are we able to pull the data from the Spotify API?

would make sense, but not sure if our list is the best spot to show those more detailed stats.

I thought a bit about this. I am not going to add support for this now. I like the idea, but I think the value of this list is the discoverability of new podcasts. Spotify is just one platform out of many (Amazon Music, Google, RSS, ...). We are not able to pull the statistics from the Spotify API without taking care of secrets (e.g. API access) etc. Furthermore, it will make the code more complex for minimal value to the list.

Thanks for the idea. For now, we are not gonna support this.
