How Can We Afford to Pay for All

I have so many podcasts that I love and I made a monthly donation to one of them to help them stay ad free. But now many of my favorite podcasts won’t let me listen to some episodes unless I pay for a subscription. Of course tthey are assuring they will stay afloat. I don’t have the income to subscribe to them all. I already had to cut whole streaming platforms like Hulu, and avoid series on Prime Video that show only the first episodes. Who can afford all this?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Oops, I didn’t realize. I don’t spend time on social media and actually just took the purpose of this platform (?) to be a place for Apple device users to discuss their experiences in general.

No problem. This is a support site for technical questions about Apple services and products. Apple is not charging you to listen to podcasts, but some of the people that make the podcasts are looking for money to compensate their time and content to produce the podcast. I offered the analogy of streaming video content as an example for having to choose the content you want or can afford.
