    Apple and YouTube are way more dominant in the podcast market than Spotify is, though neither of them show Meidas above Rogan either, so I don’t know where these numbers are coming from.

      Exactly! I’m showing these people that these are made up numbers, and I give one example, Spotify, and THATS what they’re hung up on. Not that the article is lying to them. Like…you can’t fake this level of stupidity.

        Industry publications regularly have access to metrics that storefronts don’t display, though. I’m willing to believe that they have data supporting this, but it’s weird that it’s not being shown anywhere.

        You’re calling me stupid because I respectfully informed you that your source didn’t apply to all podcasts and then went a step further and recommended a better (and free) platform to enjoy podcasts from? Not cool.

        I don’t really care if this podcast is #1 or not. I care that Spotify is bad at podcasts and I like to share that there are better ways because I myself didn’t know any better until somebody told me.
