Thanks for honoring freedom of speech. Followers of podcasts being allowed to use pseudonyms is (metaphorically stating) ... a double-edged sword. It hides the real identities of those posting ... allowing the followers anonymity ... so that vicious comments can't be traced to who they are ... and that anonymity allows the podcasters (with their big followings) to make the big money. The downside of podcasters hiding the real names of those that comment ... is that people with ill intent feel free to make up lies and spread those lies on social media ... which in turn destroys reputations ... even to the point of some people feeling so broken and hopeless ... as to end their own lives. People that use pseudonyms always have something to hide. If they didn't, they would use their own names and stand behind what they post. If the rules were that we all have to use our real names ... those who would choose to make up lies and use the lies to cyber bully ... would be "outed" and in that way held responsible ... which is only fair.
