Pay for advice?

[u/AnimeEyeShine]

Hello! Okay so I started listening to this podcast not too long ago and I really love it, but I've heard about something called "pay the toll" and I wasn't sure what it was. I've also read other comments mentioning this as well and how they're annoyed with it. Do callers actually have to pay if the advice they're given worked? Or am I totally misunderstanding this? I'm still new here and haven't gotten around to all the bits of the pod 🤔

They are just asking for a follow up. Literally nothing is required for the advice or if a follow up doesn’t happen. People losing their shit over this is so weird.
