Steven Arrazola de Oñate wrote that after a conversation with Stavros the day before, he had looked at the YouTube figures of De Morgen and thus better understood his anger. According to Arrazola, episodes of De Morgen on YouTube garnered about 500 views, compared to an average of around 10,000 for the Behaved podcast in recent weeks. He stated that this difference was approximately a factor of twenty, even though his podcast had no well-known media brand, large budget, or decades-long name recognition. Arrazola suggested that this comparison could be painful and wrote that Stavros apparently preferred to call him a ‘charlatan’ rather than a competitor. He invited Stavros as a guest on Behaved and said that the podcast was happy to engage in conversation with people who strongly disagreed with them. According to him, this resulted in more interesting discussions than insulting each other on X. #podcast #socialmedia #DeMorgen (translated)
