Half the podcasts in my queue have suddenly become paid subscriptions. Meanwhile the overall industry is losing listeners. Seems like a lousy business model to not offer a free with ads feed. What a bizarre trend.

Screaming? Apologies if you read that tone, that wasn’t my intent.
I was responding to this line you wrote in your first post:
As for this:
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?
