  • I wondered this too. But Rogan is just first in followers. MeidasTouch was first in views. Also, this was only for YouTube, which according to the article is the top podcast service now, which is hard to believe considering WHY podcasts have taken over.

    The data showed MeidasTouch amassed 124 million views in that period, with Rogan scooping the second spot with 39.2 million views.

    I think it helps that MeidasTouch has much MUCH shorter episodes. Like, any of Rogan’s 3 hour videos counts as 1 view. Hours watched would probably be different.

    On Spotify, the story is way different too. I guess that makes sense to my other point of why podcasts are popular. It’s a lot easier to just listen to an imbecile ramble in the background for 3 hours than to watch it.

    On Spotify, however, Rogan remains king, taking the number one spot, while MeidasTouch secured the 73rd spot on the audio streaming company’s U.S. podcast charts.
