Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I was hoping someone might be able to help me make sense of a trend I'm noticing.
For about two weeks, our podcast downloads have dropped fairly significantly. This trends seems to have started around the same time that Blubrry announced the change to download calculations for Apple devices. I was a little confused by the announcement. From what I understood, some types of downloads from Apple devices may no longer be counted because of app changes that resulted from the recent iOS update? Am I understanding that correctly?
I guess I'm wondering if those Apple download changes could account for fewer downloads per episode for the past two weeks or so. I would say we're seeing about half the downloads we used to. There were also pockets of days where we had zero downloads, which is not unheard of but kind of unusual for us. Or maybe this has just been a slow couple of weeks. Would appreciate any clarification.
Thanks!
