I see people who want MORE downloads, and yet they have not listed their show on all the different directories. Why is that? Is this some type of strategy?

Podcast Directories To List Your Podcast
The Top Four Podcast Directories
Apple Podcasts – When you add your show to Apple it is added to other directories automatically (making it the top place to list your show).
Spotify – Currently the 2nd most popular (and in some countries the top) podcast directories.
Google Podcast – Being listed here also puts your show in Google Home, Google Assistant, and for those who want to listen on the web, Google makes it easy.
Amazon Music / Audible – Listing your show here gets your in front of Audible and Amazon's audience while making it very easy to say “Alexa play (the name of your podcast).
Other Podcasts You Should List Your Show In
It only takes a few minutes to list your show in these places, and it's free. In other words, why wouldn't you list your show here?
Acast – I believe this has been shut down
Audacy (previously radio.com owned by CBS)
