Comment on When did paid podcasts become a thing?

  Screaming? Apologies if you read that tone, that wasn’t my intent.

  It was you who started screaming about me not wanting to pay for stuff lol.

  I was responding to this line you wrote in your first post:

  Serious question: what is the content people create that is so costly today?

  As for this:

  Whatever, keep paying if you can’t find like-minded people I guess.

  In many cases may not pay, but I also don’t expect the creator do to the work for free. I can choose to go without the content and not pay. However I don’t blame or judge the creator for charging for their work. They have a choice and I do too. I just don’t complain about the choice the creator (as a Podcaster in the context of this thread) makes if it means I have to go without. They own me nothing.

    I guess the funny part is you trying to explain basic capitalism(or whatever you are trying to explain; I need something I pay for it, I shouldn’t be “EnTiTLeD” whatever that was about …) For free :-)

      Well, you seem to need it. Your argument seems to suggest you are upset that podcasters want to be paid for the work they used to do for free.

      Do you have an alternate explanation for your view?
