Seems like past few days at least it shows not earning any sats, course, usually most days is like 1 sat a minute for ten mins, thought i'd see if any of you are seeing the same thing, or if it's just me

The last time I received sats on Fountain was on 10 Aug 2025 😅

I noticed this too. Since October last year they are not paying regularly, some days and a little bit. But yet is the better option for podcast player.

ill still use it anyway as it does the job for podcasts and support the guys who built it, but yeah, it's a hard business model

reply

yup, kinda ridiculous now.

Been that way for months, I guess they only kick back some free sats when they have a specific sponsor for it...?

reply

for that long alrady ? damn, im so used to using it I rarely check, i still remember some of the giddy highs of making a few hundred sats every now and then from listening to a podcast

I knoooow, loved that shit. Obvs not sustainable to pay your listeners for their attention, lolz. But nice marketing/overcoming switching costs

It’s a legit way to keep people listening, but unsustainable if users don’t pay back. I think the benefits system is broken, I don't know the solution. Paying users to keep them engaged with sponsors seems fair, but the producers and Fountain need to build this better.
