I would argue it’s one of few ways people listen to podcasts. And seeing as the article is talking about Joe Rogan, who is on Spotify exclusively, it kind of makes sense to look at Spotify statistics, no?
Do you still feel so smart?
By that logic, if Joe Rogan had his own podcast streaming platform, only streaming his own podcast, by definition no one could ever have more downloads than him.
I mean, I guess?
But that’s nothing like what we’re talking about here.
I’m not even sure what you people are arguing?
Spotify - 35th, Apple - 20th, Of the top 100 podcasts, across all sites, Meidas is #20.
Okay, I’ve done the research. They’re still not above Joe Rogan. Which is what my original comment was shedding light on. But apparently you people WANT misinformation, so long as it fits your narrow-minded views lol.
Go do the research yourself. I could not find any site that listed Meidas above Joe Rogan.
If you don’t want to accept that, and just argue everything, that’s on you. Stay lied to. You know what they say - ignorance is bliss.
Notably those other platforms are all views that Joe Rogan isn’t getting. They just add to the total. You don’t have to top each platform individually to get to the overall highest
The article cited a source on overall views where you can see exactly what they described
Considering there’s many podcast platforms, and Joe Rogan is only on one. Looking at just Spotify statistics is the worst way to tell what the overall statistics look like.
So you’re saying that looking at Spotify is going to be even more misleading because 100% of Joe Rogan’s listeners are there vs not all listeners of other podcasts?
Spotify is not the only way to listen to podcasts
Indeed. YouTube and Apple are far more dominant than Spotify.

I only pointed out your flawed logic, I’m not the one ranting here

Go see my other comment.
In guessing you oppose ranked choice voting because you don’t understand it.
The hot take that was so bad you had to post it twice.
A lot of folks don’t use Spotify at all. Myself included. I listen to a lot of podcasts, including Midas touch.
Why would I pay for audio, when I’m a fan of FOSS. And there’s a number of free alternatives?

You could try looking on podscribe. You know, the source cited by the article. Because they compile data across platforms.
Okay. Done. Clearly you didn’t check Podscribe.
Actually I did. Stop being obtuse. Scroll down to ranking by downloads/views per month.
NPR News Hour used to be my morning listen. Now it’s so stacked with native ads and AEI talking heads that it’s unlistenable.
