    I would argue it’s one of few ways people listen to podcasts. And seeing as the article is talking about Joe Rogan, who is on Spotify exclusively, it kind of makes sense to look at Spotify statistics, no? Do you still feel so smart?

      By that logic, if Joe Rogan had his own podcast streaming platform, only streaming his own podcast, by definition no one could ever have more downloads than him.

        I mean, I guess? But that’s nothing like what we’re talking about here. I’m not even sure what you people are arguing? Spotify - 35th, Apple - 20th, Of the top 100 podcasts, across all sites, Meidas is #20.

        Okay, I’ve done the research. They’re still not above Joe Rogan. Which is what my original comment was shedding light on. But apparently you people WANT misinformation, so long as it fits your narrow-minded views lol.

        Go do the research yourself. I could not find any site that listed Meidas above Joe Rogan. If you don’t want to accept that, and just argue everything, that’s on you. Stay lied to. You know what they say - ignorance is bliss.

      So you’re saying that looking at Spotify is going to be even more misleading because 100% of Joe Rogan’s listeners are there vs not all listeners of other podcasts?

      Considering there’s many podcast platforms, and Joe Rogan is only on one. Looking at just Spotify statistics is the worst way to tell what the overall statistics look like.
