Donut Operator advocates for listeners to leave five-star ratings and comments to support the podcast's growth.

“five stars on everything and a comment if there is possible because we need to be at the top”

DJ Wells advocates for live podcast tours as a way to engage directly with fans.

“So pull up. If you in a town, pull the [ __ ] up. Wherever you at, we'll be to see y'all. We lit.”

Bert claims that Joe Rogan is the individual responsible for reintroducing personalities to media through his podcast.

“And the person that's responsible for that is Joe Rogan. >> Yeah, 100%. He He and but and his I would say he's more responsible for my voice in stand-up Sure. than myself.”

The guest maintains that the best content often arises from authentic, unscripted human connection rather than manufactured professional interactions.

“what a lot of the veteran Community needs is that is a social network that you can you it's just a reason to hang out and it's the message that people actually give a fuck about you”

A focused 10-minute highlight segment from a podcast episode makes the content more digestible and appealing to new listeners.

“The fact that it's got nine minutes in the title for whatever reason makes me go this is not this is no time I can learn everything I want about you know nine minutes you can dance a lifetime into 900”

He argues that successful podcasters who distance themselves from former collaborators due to internet trends are acting cowardly.

“And I see guys like trying to create a little separation. >> I see all of a sudden it's like, yeah, you you you use this guy to make millions of dollars and get all these fans, and now you see online outrage, and you're like, oh no, that's them. That's not me. It's like you had no problem being part”

Joe Budden believes that podcast guests should not go too hard with jokes while on the show and that any harsh commentary should wait until after they have left.

“We should make the jersey after they leave. We all we all we all slip into it from time to time, but like in general, I think like the hardest joke should come after the guest leave.”

Podcasters sometimes lose self-awareness during conversations and may later regret comments made without malicious intent.

“Sometimes you just forget yourself when you're deep into a conversation, and you think you are alone with the person me, I guess, just talking to you guys. And then I'm like, "Ooh, did I say that?"”

Matt believes that podcast hosts should stop referring to their collaboration as double teaming because it generates negative feedback from some audience members.

“I understand the argument for us maybe to stop calling it that that some people have made, but >> Come up with a better name.”

He prohibits his partner from appearing on his podcast because he does not want the burden of editing content that might cause an argument.

“she's not allowed on BFFs I have and for people wondering why it's because I don't like editing content like I don't if we say stuff it's in and I know her well enough that sometimes things show doesn't like you want edits cut out”

A debate should prioritize open discussion and fair representation rather than controlling comments to shape perceptions of who won.

“This is a public debate and we don't want to be controlling the reactions.”

Reading YouTube comments is addictive and can lead to emotional distress.

“it's very addictive you know what I'm saying you hit that when you start hitting the bad ones whatever but I really got to remove myself from it because they're good until they're not and then once it's like it's like I can read five good ones and then I read one negative one and I start [ __ ] melt”

He thinks that discussing movies like Blade Runner is a niche activity and generally uninteresting to a broader audience.

“Bladeunner is for me and Barrett to talk about and then everyone around us just sort of zones out and then they go, "We never want to hear you guys talk about Bladerunner again."”

Avery believes that listeners should not want to hear a specific unreleased podcast episode because it was not funny or interesting, but rather upsetting.

“it's like no you really don't you don't want to happen legit not even funny it's not funny or interesting it's just like wow i'm really upset now”

Hateful comments from listeners should not be taken personally because they reflect the listener's own unhappiness.

“I realize that people like that are obviously unhappy or angry they're either unhappy or angry or something's going on so you can't take it personally”

Adam22 argues that the nature of streaming and constant online presence is crucial for modern creators to avoid becoming forgotten, unlike the outdated 'Blockbuster' model of business.

“You don't want to be the last [ __ ] with the blockbuster on the block. And what I mean is the times change. Streaming is coming. Don't be the [ __ ] just holding on to that. For real.”

Publicly airing one's business on a stream diminishes the mystique and aura surrounding a person.

“Anytime you hop on the internet, you going to lose that mistake. That that that's just how it is.”

He believes that consistent and frequent content output is a better strategy for growth on platforms like YouTube than infrequent high-production videos.

“I genuinely think that, you know, more content is typically better than less. Um because it gives you more opportunities to go viral and then also like it shows consistency. And then like when you're constantly posting and you're consistent, man, like the algo is going to just pick you up.”

Zach suggests that staying mysterious and not being everywhere is the most effective strategy for success in current media.

“mystery's the sexy part. Yeah. I can you say it so I don't just tell you your story? >> No that's I'm sorry [laughter] I just No. I'm saying this I'm like why the [ __ ] am I NOT LIKE NO. BUT IT'S SO BRILLIANT RESEARCH THAT IT'S THE SEXIEST thing in media right now is not being everywhere”

Success in the YouTube space is largely driven by luck, and high effort does not guarantee growth.

“I think that everybody should try to throw their hat in the ring but I'm just gonna be honest I think I got lucky I think it's a lottery so it's hard because I think it's very luck based”
