It pays the creator if the creator offers pay to view content. So technically, it takes money from the creator’s subscribers.

You might actually hear a podcast host say that if you listen to enough podcasts. I have heard it in the Bits und so podcast, directly from the host.

Also, Spotify bought their own studio (Gimlet), for that they are obviously paying the creators.

That’s just the Google way… still didn’t get over the RSS reader disaster… Anyways, I tried the app a couple of times: it’s not a great app for listening to podcasts. If you like podcasts, try Antennapod, Pocket Casts or Podcast Addict (and please stay away from Spotify).

In the end: good riddance.
