Advertising has become much less profitable after many countries have passed stricter data protection laws. It’s a good thing. Paying for services should be the norm.
This might also be because one of the biggest advertisers for podcasts went belly up. Coffeezilla made a video about it recently.
It always felt like the entire podcast industry was running off the money of like three companies but it was such a weird idea I couldn't believe it. I guess it was true.
