Another Podcast Addict user here. But I don’t think they pay the Podcasters anything if that’s your concern. If you’re listening to Joe Rogan, don’t pay him a penny. Pirate the shit out of his podcasts. But maybe you should consider giving to Patreon if you don’t already. They take a cut but at least you know its going to the podcaster.
Also you really should know that Tidal isn’t paying anyone any better, no platform is. They’re all beholden to rights holders, and that is mostly record labels and their parent companies. No platform pays per stream, that’s a myth. Spotify just distributes all the money left after their 30%. Blame the labels for making audio so unprofitable and for the average listener for treating music and podcasts as disposable,
Before you think I’m defending spotify, I’m not. They tried to make an unprofitable product profitable and they did it by selling out to record labels. Spotify could have made them irrelevant but chose not to.
