@js Do we have any idea what percentage of podcast listening is done on web based players?

@adam @js speaking of this statistic, did you ever find the original source for "more women listen to a podcast on its webpage?"

@Economic_Hitman @js iirc, that came from a @james report

@adam general lazy rule of thumb I've heard is "any show with over 10% web downloads is suspect" (bought traffic bots often use browser user-agent strings)

however, you got me thinking that I could use OP3 for some real, current numbers

For the top 300 shows measured by OP3 in December, the pct that came from a web browser was 5.17%

However, each show is a snowflake - looking at this graph _per show_ reveals quite a variety

(NA is 12%, that first sizable one closest to the left)

@adam @js anecdotally, I try to listen to everything with Truefans now, with Castamatic second choice (just for CarPlay support).
