Exactly.

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

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.

It makes no sense for Spotify to lie about how successful a podcast is.

Ranking #3 in its category is good. Spotify is known for dropping large sums on IP. This isn't surprising.

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

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

Girl then you never listened!!! She digs in everywhere, she’s obsessssssed

Um no…. I have.

The whole premise of the podcast is a dig. The RF never allowed her to be her real self. Now we get to see the Meghan we were never allowed to see in the past few years.

Quite an ironic claim coming from you!

Minus a small niche of critics and fans, I feel like there's not a lot of traction (at least in the US) with either H (& M).

You’d be wrong, because his book is already selling insanely well in preorder on Amazon and it doesn’t even come out until almost the end of January.

Literally does not mention the RF. She mentions the media.

Unless you're somehow affirming the idea that the RF was responsible for the coordinated media campaign against Meghan?

I thought it was "At Home with Duke and Duchess of Sussex?" I may be wrong.

I believe it was a fallback after it became obvious to Netflix that it's impossible to get anything with actual substance from these two.

I see the growth of our boy indeed.

Funny how they want nothing to do with the family, but cling to the titles for dear life.

Two utterly inane statements in one sentence. Tell me you're easily manipulated by tabloid press...

I don't have to read tabloid press to form an opinion when anyone chooses to air family issues to the public.

Likely also believes we live in a post-racist society. ^^

Take your idiotic, privileged opinions somewhere else. When you’ve dealt with the crushing weight of systemic racism, we’ll listen to your opinion.

Yeah, they definitely “don’t see color.”

What strikes me is just how we seem to never learn from the past.

So much of the vitriolic hatred leveled against Meghan is so evocative of what Diana went through.

Has anyone watched this from VICE?

Subtle digs.

Subtle digs.

Your inability to distinguish between "the Royal Family" and "the tabloid press" is a little concerning.

Oh good lord. How many can say there are not digs and then people are like yes! There are! Subtle digs! She’s the worst! We get it, you hate Meghan! For…..reasons.

The British tabloids are trash, and the men who wrote those pieces are pathetic creatures.

Whoever side with the tabloids are simpletons.

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.

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.

Overall it is well behind Dax Shepherd. Dax Shepherd for god’s sake, a delightful man whose podcast I have never heard advertised.

3 spots ahead of 12 hour sound machine which is apparently a podcast that is just white noise! 😂

You probably don't hear or see Dax Shepard's podcast being advertised because you aren't going out of your way to seek out information about it and because there isn't an entire industry dedicated to nitpicking Dax Shepard's every move.
