It’s an interesting dataset, but I do think it’s interesting that they’re looking at followers versus viewers.
Looking just at YouTube, Joe Rogan has ~20 million YouTube subscribers, but his videos average 0.5 million to 1.3 million views.
I don’t know much about the other services, but followers might be inflating their size. It is likely doing so evenly, so the left leaning bubbles should also be smaller.
In the article itself they did look at some of the views where right leaning viewership was nearly double left leaning viewership, so it is still notable, but the breakdown would be interesting.
He was also off of YouTube for a few years cause Spotify had an exclusivity deal for his stuff… so lots of longtime viewers went over there and didn’t come back.

I think Rogan does serious numbers in audio form. Lots of people still listen to audio only podcasts.
