See my previous comment. All of the podcasts I listen to have either been very successful at monetizing via their own ad sales for years, are very Apple centric, very developer centric, or use podcasts to advertise their own products.
Good for you in that case, but this sounds like the Nazi Germany when party after party was outlawed until the only remaining parties were the supporters of Hitler's agenda. A radical example, but this is what reminds me the current situation and your attitude.
