The article implies throughout that audiences are shrinking but the only mechanism for that is Apple Podcasts won't download episodes for a user who isn't listening anyway.
- slwto 3y agoThe article implies there never were audiences as estimated, due to faulty mechanism.
- fasthands9 3y agoIt does seem like the "shrinking" is confusing there. Probably should have been "The Podcast Industry Is Smaller Than Producers Thought" It is possible that overall podcast listening is still up yoy. It is also possible that even if the top podcasts decline (which the article sorta hints at?) that it may just be because the market is now saturated with thousands of competitors that each take a very small slice.
- bombcar 3y agoIt like those articles that talk about the year millions of US children disappeared- because the tax forms start requiring social security numbers for claimed dependents.
