You could be right, but (as the article says), trying to listen to a podcast on the vanilla YouTube app is extremely frustrating, since you can't play audio in the background. Is it still a podcast if you have to watch it like a video? It's hard for me to imagine that 23% of "listeners" in the US do that.

I don't watch the video portion during this time, but it's playing on the phone which is face down and probably in another room. Sometimes even while driving, I'll have the phone face down in the glove box. Can't really do this if I'm walking, but that's not my major use case. Ultimately it's just "audio that people are listening to in some way."
