> Why do some podcast sites makes it so difficult to simply download? Advertising.

• ericra 3y ago
  I tried to address this in my question. Of all the examples I can think of, the ads are embedded in the downloadable episode MP3. Is there additional advertisement revenue going to the podcast creators from the third-party sites?

    The web page the podcast is embedded in likely contains a significant set of "ads" (of various types) that either directly produce revenue, or "increase engagement" (supposedly) to then further cause more ads to be seen.
