Amber and Matt were great.

Scolding HR managers are the worst vehicle for social change. Having Warren voters as the vanguard of progressivism is baffling because nobody likes them, whatever ideas they are championing. Luckily, since they’re PMC they can’t poison the well of class awareness.

turns out most podcasts are listened to by people commuting to work (either walking, train, bus, car, etc) and listenership ahs plummeted big time for lots of podcasts.

also post super-tuesday had a lot of crappy chapo episodes . i mentioned before i was like 3 months behind and only recently caught-up while playing Snowrunner and I still had to skip through lots of those march and april ones, they were pretty mediocre and their chemistry and all has been kinda hosed up until recently.

and yeah when people are out of work, furloughed, w/e patreon is kind of the obvious first thing to cut. although cumtown's revenue has actually gone up, so i mostly attribute it to CTH just being kinda bad/middling for a few months post super-tues. and people probably burnt out after bernie

chapo did gain a lot during the campaign, so Bernie being done does make sense as being a reason for them to drop. People who are interested in politics as things are potentially going to start getting better might not have their brains broken enough to keep being interested after that potential dies

I’ll save that for GIP, TFR and the Econ thread.

Podcasts are all about Anna, Amber, Aimee and Angela. Podcasters who talk about class first draw out all of the worst people on the left. It’s impossible for them to not come up in discussion.

yeah fair enough, it did gain way more than anything else and would otherwise follow same trend as most

i'm guessing the drop-off at the end of the month is people not using auto-renew? . it's kinda weird you see a fall-off and then recovery consistently from month to month

literally never heard of TMG or Second Captains, but Matt was talking on the vlog the other day about Spotify buying up Rogan and Last Podcast and I wonder if they'll come knocking on their door. 99% sure they wouldn't take it. the Cum boys though...

I guess it depends if they can keep a Patreon going after spotify buys them and still have Patreon premium rss streams? I didn't realize Spotify was trying to up their market there, I never found it great for podcasts but maybe they've improved that functionality recently, it used to be barebones with no continuation or tracking and limited pool. I ended up recently buying a $1/month sub to Pocketcasts Premium which is really nice since I do most of my listening on my PC since commuting is dead and it does a pretty great cross-sync, played history/timestamps, and continue-from.

Chapo makes a solid 150k/mo (albeit divided up equally among matt, will, amber, felix, virgil(???), and chris(??)) is 25k/mo each which is still a lot pulling in 200k+ a year each). i doubt they would take that to become a spotify exclusive

Nick would def take it if it meant more cocaine. i love the cum boys, but they're already slinging underwear, wallets, and dick pills so uh, yeah they'd do it if spotify offered enough $$$

realized thinking about that the wrong way, it's not that nick would say yes (he would), but rather spotify wouldn't even approach. given cum's sponsors have consistently just been dick pills, underwear, and wallets (?) for a few years i actualy don't even think spotify would even offer. it'd be considered far too vulgar and definitely isn't accessible to 90%+ of people and i highly suspect spotify would not be interested in marketing CUM TOWN (splooge) brought to you by SPOTIFY

spotify seems more like would be into the more milquetoasty sort of NPR-esque pod save america, and more generic things (like true crime/history/99% invisible/etc type stuff)

trueanon is weird chapo but better and more focussed imo - franczak combines menaker and christman's role, and belden does most of the stuff frost and biedeman do

the biggest thing chapo has that trueanon doesn't is, like, pop culture critique, which they're very good at, but trueanon is more dense a package and is another step along with their political analysis imo

Spotify, much like most of these apps, loses a poo poo ton of money but continues to be highly valued by investors gambling that they will be the monopoly in their field in the future. Their strategy of acquiring podcasts follows precisely that. Which means that they will never care or spend money on niche stuff. There's a billion niche podcasts, so buying one isn't going to convince your investors you are about to become the monopoly.

yeah i agree. i've been listening to trueanon around the time it started and it's only ever getting better. I'm still kinda behind on cth and really just don't care that much -- they sort of fell apart and lost that 'energy' earlier this year whereas trueanon has just grown stronger+powerful each week. there's a reason i'm subbed to trueanon, economic update, citations needed, and cum patreons and not chapo. tho i'll probably ditch the last one too and just use a pirated feed 'n donate the money to stav directly on twitch.

The drop-off with Patreon is usually due to rejected credit cards, either because they're outdated or the transaction wasn't approved (for me, fraud detection has stopped monthly Patreon payments multiple times)
