The problem, as people describe it

Podcasters report sudden download declines their hosting analytics never explain, because platforms silently change download-counting rules, throttle feeds over small validation issues like an expired SSL cert, or quietly break search listings. Creators lose weeks of growth and sponsor-reporting credibility before they even notice, and diagnosis is pure manual guessing.
