> Stitcher is thought to be the 2nd most popular podcast player, although it has long been controversial in some circles for its default practice of hosting podcasts itself (instead of directing users to download them directly from a podcaster’s server) and inserting ads.
Why would a consumer install such a program, when AntennaPod exists?
- MBCook 10y agoIf the podcast you want is only available through Stitcher. And it's only on Stitcher because that's Midroll's service and only Midroll ads pay well enough (this is hypothetical-future). And they only pay well enough because of all the tracking in Stitcher.
