I mean each episode barely breaks the top 30 and drops to 90-100 within 2-3 days. Spotify’s biggest production is a huge flop. What else can Spotify’s execs who made this bad deal say? Have they announced they are renewing it? Nope!

And yet. the fact that there are such dedicated fans like yourself who are constantly monitoring its performance is already a testament to how many eyes and ears the podcast has managed to capture.

It's unequivocally a success.

Spotify is losing millions a quarter. Do you really think they are going to post anything that isn’t positive?

Also... their foundation's website. As someone who works in this realm, I've truly never seen a foundation with a website like this - This is the picture you choose to put on your website for Advocating for Equitable and Affordable Access to Childcare (https://archewell.com/news/advocating-equitable-affordable-access-to-childcare/)? This is what you choose for Celebrating the Power of Women (https://archewell.com/news/celebrating-the-power-of-women/)? This one for Investing in Women (https://archewell.com/news/ving-project-grant-1-million-women-in-need/)? The fact of the matter is that when you're putting together the face of your foundation, choosing to focus it on photoshoots of yourself rather than focusing on other people is just bizarre.

She needs a new stylist. She looks terrible in all the pics. And I agree, how totally irrelevant to the topic.

I can't stand her.

At the end of the day, each person is a reflection of his or her background. She is no exception.

I thought she is her own stylist?

I assume so.

OK but, of course Spotify is going to promote their own podcasts.

Meghan’s latest podcast was at 77. Guess it’s time for her to take another dig at the BRF!

Where are you getting 77? It's sitting at 31 overall and #4 in its category.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11452561/Meghan-Markles-latest-Archetypes-episode-languishes-77-Spotify-chart.html

Lmao, using the Daily Mail for your news source... ha.

https://podcastcharts.byspotify.com/
#29 overall, #3 in its category (society & culture) in the UK.

What’s wrong with Daily Mail? What are they wrong about that makes you think they’re not credible? The Daily Mail has broken major stories the past two years that all the other papers “of record” decide to cover weeks/months or even years later (Hunter Biden).

The people gleefully proclaiming that the podcast is a failure (it's not) just come off as incredibly spiteful.

Success in Spotify is measure by how many people listen to you. Meghan has a small audience despite a large promotion campaign and production budget. Her inability to attract, retain or grow a listener base has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with the racist RF, it’s just hard data and a reflection of the product.

??? It's #3 in its category in the UK, #4 in the US. Seems successful to me. And Spotify has been vocal about its success, too.

That’s a lot of Vitriol for someone you have literally never met.

Oh FFS!!!! That is NOT a lot of vitriol! It’s just a comment about a disgusting social climber who lies constantly and changes her persona to line her pockets! We all have opinions and you can’t negate that MANY people have a visceral reaction to her smugness, her affected voice, her lies and so much more. It’s not vitriol, it’s opinion, move on!

You sound absolutely insane.

Seriously. Seriously insane.

I’ve listened to every episode and never heard a dig at the royal family.

She is already distancing herself from the series in many ways, as evidenced by her direct quote in the Variety interview where she washes her hands of any discrepancies. “It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story—a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired—even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it. But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.”

Reminds me of the Queen’s fine and succinct statement - recollections may vary, indeed.

That quote is completely inoffensive. If anything, it's thoughtful and mature. But I remember when it caused a huge uproar.

This is why I don't trust any of the tabloid headlines or all the people who needlessly hate on her.

Lolllll that’s not the point. She’s washing her hands of it bc it’s going to be abusive ugly and awful like her and there will be backlash and she is covering all her bases! She’s literally laying it out for you. Nothing this snake does is accidental!!

Yep. They need to recoup the excessive amount they’ve spent and they’re not going to do that by advertising that it’s tanking. Ranking 32 out of 100 is fine if you hadn’t spent $30M on it.
