Since day one in the podcast game, Joe Rogan would tell all his guest to start a podcast, basically creating competition for himself, but now all I see is urban podcasters beefing with each other . This makes me wonder if these guys need beef to captivate an audience to do numbers. Rogan always promote that theirs enough space for everyone. Seems like the urban side of podcasting are crabs in a bucket and dwell on hate. Maybe I'm looking at the situation wrong but this is the difference I see.

Joe and Charlemagne are the same person. You have to keep people at a distance who thrive on operating in chaos. Joe literally sat across from Nore who has brought multiple people on who talked shi#$ on Joe. This Pod showed me AK might really be one of the most authentic in the industry.

[@illestrated4191]

What Joe said at 52:00 is spot on. All these personalities on legacy networks have been starting their own pod and it's been telling. I've tracked Stephen A Smiths KZbin for the past 3 months. He was stuck at 80-90k subscribers for weeks. Videos that didn't break 10k views after 3 days of being posted as recently as June. I'm sure he's learned about ad spending by now, and in the past 3 weeks his subscribers doubled. Yet some videos still struggle to get traction. Stephen A thought he'd have more organic traction & learned quickly he'd have to pay to get more visibility on the algo. Basically he thought his worth/influence was bigger & couldn't break 100k subs until he started spending

[@Keef_Doe]

Interesting

[@illestrated4191]

@CandyGrooves I hear what you're saying, and you're wrong. Cable is dead, most people access ESPN through other means. ESPN's target demo of 25-34 primarily use Desktop - so think KZbin and ESPN's site, not cable. If you're saying ESPN's $50 million man shouldn't be able to garner 100k subs in a matter of 3 months, respectfully, you don't understand the business of influence & don't understand how he lost some leverage by showing his hand there. Personalities make channels & social media accounts and hit 100k in a day. We're talking 3 months for ESPN's 'most famous' personality. And we're talking 100k, not 1 million. That's a bad sign for Stephen A.

[@BaseheadTV]

I think the biggest thing to take away in Stephen A specific situation is his age group of his demo. Who mainly watches cable. WHO may not convert to the online stuff. That’s why his journey will be slower. A young person in his same situation would excel becuz of the current gen and us only using mobile / online.
