The Feeds with Medium Music chart illustrates the number of podcasts that have adopted the Music Medium Tag. Notes: 1) The big inflection point in mid-June 2023 was the result of @mikeneumann adding a bunch of Wavlake feeds to the Index manually. 2) The drop at the end of June 2023 is the result of Wavlake switching their URL scheme, requiring @dave to clean up the old URL versions. 3) The uptick at the beginning of August 2023 is likely a result of the first episode of Boostagram Ball.4) The uptick in late December 2023 is due to Wavlake starting to use the Podcast Index API and thus submitting directly to the index. This may have created duplicates, so there may be another correction coming as things settle out.

The Feeds with Medium Video chart illustrates the number of podcasts that have adopted the Video Medium Tag. The August 2023 inflection point is the result of @cisene adding PeerTube instances manually.
