Podcast Creation Decline, Spotify, Anchor Platform
New podcast creation has reportedly dropped by 80% since 2020, according to data published in The Verge. Much of the previous surge was attributed to Spotify's Anchor platform, which allowed users to easily create low-quality or "test" episodes. The decline is also linked to the end of "free money" for ESG-focused content and a realization that podcast discovery remains a significant hurdle for new creators.
