At least one prominent show that used to upload video there, Call Her Daddy, has stopped doing so after moving to another network (SiriusXM). And lots of other programs that regularly find viewers on YouTube aren't moving their video to Spotify

my latest: podcasters are sick of talking to the same guests as everybody else, so they're moving away from interviews.

this means more co-hosts or even monologue-style shows (a fascination of mine).

The Daily is one of the biggest podcasts in the world. On YouTube, it averaged around 1,000 views per episode over the past week 😅
