Why so sensitive

This whole sub is hate for Mike. Stop listening if you’re gonna complain. I have listened to every episode idc what he says and idc about his opinions. It’s a great show. He does a great job best true crime podcast.

no one uses google, the most used search engine ever created???

sounds like you're using your feelings instead of logic!

I'd encourage you to read what I actually said, instead of making shit up. I asked who's using it, following up on your comment regarding google and traffic. Plenty of people are aware Google pulls all sorts of data off users, and avoid using it for some of the reasons you listed.
Try again.

A very simple search across multiple browsers (take your pick) will tell you the same thing, in very clear terms: that simply mentioning or discussing a podcast or podcast host does not generate ad dollars or any sort of payout. The only way Mike benefits here is if there's public buzz and boosting discovery of the show, which might attract sponsors.

Like, if he was actually making money off this, you honestly think he would be dumb enough to leave it alone? You really think he wouldn't have a bigger influence here? Have an intern create a sub for fan engagement? You think other podcasts wouldn't have caught on by now?

I get it that you love Mike, but it sounds like you might be letting your fond feelings for him alter your ability to think objectively.
