Can I ask a small favor for like two days?

Posted by Mr. Havens (aka EdwardHavens) Aug 10 '22, 14:57

I'd like to test a theory a friend has about Apple Podcasts.

If you haven't done so already, just subscribe to the podcast for a couple of days. If you subscribe today, you can unsubscribe on Saturday. You don't have to listen to an episode. Just subscribe to the show.

He seems to think Apple Podcast placements are based not on listens but on how many new subscribers you can get in the previous 24 hours compared to how many you had the previous 24 hours.

Thank you.

The 80s Movie Podcast (apple.co)

I did it. But just know that Apple screwed up their Podcast app quite a while ago, so anyone who is really into Podcasts doesn't use it anymore. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 10, 15:00 5
- I am not really into podcasts, but I do use that app for SITV -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 15:47
- Apple Podcasts is still the #1 way people listen to my show by a more than 2:1 margin, so it's where I still focus my attentions. - Mr. Havens Aug 10, 15:02 3
  - I'm glad to hear that people are pushing through the bad update to keep listening! I'll sub over on Overcast which is what I use and listen to some. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 10, 15:08 2
    - If you want to sub on Overcast, that's great, but this is to test a theory specifically for Apple Podcasts. -- nm - Mr. Havens Aug 10, 15:09 1
      - Oh, I did both. Overcast is for me. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 10, 17:01
