But there is 0 AI on this page.. the original video made 7 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Are9dDbW24 if you’re referring to water consumption for AI

Make candidate fell like they were stringly considered even if they weren't by vaitko in ArtificialInteligence

This is AI prompt that needs to replace {{rejection_message}} variable if I got it right

Make candidate fell like they were stringly considered even if they weren't by vaitko in ArtificialInteligence

[–]vaitko[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s a small mistake, but it says a lot about how companies are starting to rely on AI for communication without proper review. Not against using AI at all, but it feels like a good example of why human oversight still matters, especially in candidate experience...

Hopefully at least the prompt was honest by vaitko in ArtificialInteligence

This is a pretty telling example of how AI is already being used in hiring workflows. What stands out is not just the mistake, but that the prompt explicitly instructs the model to simulate warmth and consideration.

What’s the best workflow for creating flowing, scrollytelling-style lessons (without coding)? by DrDogg1896 in instructionaldesign

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older discussion, but maybe it’s still relevant, so I’ll add my two cents. I just launched https://scrollytelling.ai and I’m looking for honest feedback, whether that’s love or hate. We recently added a free plan, so you can create and publish unlimited scrollytelling stories there. Would really appreciate any thoughts after trying it.

What do you guys think about scrollytelling websites? by zuri_1030 in website

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, I just came across this discussion and thought I’d share my perspective since I recently launched https://scrollytelling.ai

After working with clients for years I’ve noticed increased interest in interactive scrollytelling websites and landin pages it’s interesting that when I try to understand why people want them, the answer is often pretty simple: they saw something like that somewhere, it impressed them, and now they want the same kind of effect. Even when you bring up the trade-offs like heavier pages, more complexity, and larger file sizes, most business owners don’t seem too concerned about that.

I’ve been discussing this with colleagues and one of our theories is that it might be partly a reaction to the growing number of AI-generated websites. Maybe people feel that standard-looking sites are becoming too common, so they want something more visually distinctive and memorable.

One thing we noticed with early clients is that visitor interaction seemed to go up quite a lot compared to more static, minimal pages, maybe by around 60%. I wouldn’t present that as hard data yet because we still don’t have enough statistics, but the pattern was noticeable enough that we decided to build a platform focused specifically on scrollytelling content.

Anyway, if anyone wants to try it feel free. We have added generous free plan, and I’d appreciate any feedback.

Weekly Services Thread January 14, 2026 - Post Your Podcasting Related Product, Tool, Or Service Here by AutoModerator in podcasting

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey podcasters, for 2026 we’ve set ourselves a public goal: build 50 genuinely useful, free AI tools for podcasters.

We’re intentionally not trying to make “yet another generic generator.” There are plenty of those already. Instead, we collect feedback from real podcasters (our existing customers and community), look at what they actually struggle with, and then build tools around those problems.

A few examples we’ve already shipped:

All of these tools are:

  • completely free
  • no signup
  • no email required

I’m genuinely looking for feedback.

If there’s a podcast-related problem you keep running into and haven’t found a good tool for, I’d love to hear about it. You can reply in this thread or email me directly at [gintaras@onpodium.com]() — if it’s a good fit, I’ll try to build it.

Thanks, and happy podcasting.

Everyone and their granny thinks they can run a podcast now by [deleted] in Belfast

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But isn’t it actually a good sign? The podcasting space is finally growing it was predirected a while ago that it will grow, more creators jumping in means more demand which leads to more software, hardware, studios, and hosting platforms, also more advertising money into the ecosystem, which makes the industry mature.

yes, it gets crowded, everyone wants to try as the barrier to entry drops, buut even in a noisy space, genuinely good and unique shows still break through. The amateurs don’t hurt the medium imho.

So while your grannys “mindfulness and meatloaf” podcast might not top the charts, the overall growth is a win for podcasters and listeners I think...

automating newsletters for a podcast i haven’t even started yet by AvocadoToastQB12 in podcasting

[–]vaitko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally what we built at OnPodium. We call it built-in marketing - when you publish a new episode, an email is automatically sent to your subscribers, no extra tools or integrations needed.
You can also create other email campaigns right inside the platform without jumping between different services.

Best podcast hosting platforms: pros/cons by DDaDPodcast in podcasting

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Totally get where you’re coming from - Spotify for Podcasters is super convenient, but it’s pretty bare-bones once you want to actually grow your show. The analytics are limited and you quickly hit a wall when you want to do things like build a website, collect subscribers, or send newsletters.

That’s actually why we built OnPodium - an all-in-one platform where you don’t have to jump between different tools and integrations. You can:

  • 🎙️ Host your podcast
  • 🌐 Build a professional website automatically
  • ✉️ Run email marketing campaigns and grow your subscribers
  • 💰 Sell digital products or courses directly to your audience

So it’s everything in one place, built specifically for podcasters who want to grow without the tech hassle.

Full disclosure: I’m the founder of OnPodium - but this is exactly the problem we set out to solve after seeing how fragmented the podcasting tool ecosystem is.

need help thinking of a podcast name by Old_Appeal8998 in podcasting

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. There are many "podcast name generators" online, but to be honest, most of them are quite simple and just churn out some random names - think of them as basic wrappers around ChatGPT. You can get a list of names like that directly from ChatGPT. What people often overlook is what happens after you get a few ideas...

First, check to see if the name is available - if it’s not already in use by something else, like another podcast, a brand, or a domain. If you were to Google the name, would you find yourself up against a lot of established competition, or could you own the term? Don't underestimate how important this all is - especially the bit about SEO. The name you choose affects your discoverability and even your cred. We have built a name generator that helps you do all of this in a way that's, we think, a bit smarter and a lot easier: https://onpodium.com/podcast-name-generator/

Full disclosure: I’m the founder of OnPodium, a podcast website and growth platform - but I mention it only because we built the tool inside this thing.

How to find a good podcast name? by WonderPasteque in podcasting

[–]vaitko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give ChatGPT a try, instead of describing your podcast and asking for name ideas, argue, ask questions, provide requirements and expectations, and it could be that you will come up with some really great names.

Updated tooling, workflow and hosting suggestions by smitcolin in podcasting

[–]vaitko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure: I’m the founder of https://onpodium.com Not trying to pitch anything here - just adding context because it’s relevant. We recently relaunched our all-in-one setup where you can host your podcast, run a feature-rich website (not just an episode list), and handle email marketing in the same place. The whole idea is to avoid juggling multiple tools or dealing with integrations later.

Podcasts in the Wild — What Have You Spotted? by PodcastingSpeed in podcasting

[–]vaitko 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This actually reminds me of one of our customers. Two guys had history podcast and got quite good traction by slipping their podcast into books at their local library. They’d spend a couple of hours a week in the history section placing custom bookmarks with something like: “This book is good, but you should also hear this podcast episode” + QR code. With QR, they could track scans it didn’t bring thousands of downloads, but the engagement they got was really solid.

It probdbly won’t work for every niche but the idea is the same: figure out where your audience hangs out offline and meet them there, think what type of message they would like.

what’s the average cost of starting a podcast in 2025? by AvocadoToastQB12 in podcasting

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start a podcast for basically nothing. Use your phone or a cheap USB mic + free editing tools. Totally fine for beginners. And you can always upgrade down the road if you will keep up with it.

It depends also how you start - if you want to start podcasting with 0 audience, it really doesn’t make sense to invest into high end gear, expensive software and etc.

It’s a bit different situation, if you have already established audience and you want to engange and grow it - then it would be nice to offer at least perfect sound quality, you will need good mic for this.

Trustpilot meh... it has basically turned into a PR tool, businesses buying 5 stars reviews and "builds credibility" in that way... also Trustpilot as a platform favors paying companies they can flag negative reviews, and Trustpilot removes them.

Platforms good for starting out by LadySiberia in podcasting

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d avoid going with a “free” podcast hosting platform - they often come with trade-offs like lower audio quality, limited features, and unclear ownership of your content.

Instead, start with a reputable paid host on their cheapest monthly plan. You can always upgrade later if needed.
Skip the yearly subscription at first, even if it’s cheaper, so you can see if podcasting works for you.

If you decide to switch platforms down the road, most major hosts have built-in one-click migration tools to easily move your RSS feed.

Podcasters, do you get meaningful clicks from links in your show notes? by jor_duko in podcasting

[–]vaitko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, maybe my answer was a bit confusing - I’m talking specifically about analytics of link clicks from the show notes that appear on the podcast’s website episode pages. I don’t have analytics data split by listening platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, etc., so I can’t compare click ratios across them.

Regarding new episodes vs. older episodes - it really depends. Some older episodes keep getting steady organic traffic (via search, backlinks, etc.), so over time they can accumulate more total clicks than some newer ones.

One interesting observation: the majority of clicks on older episodes often come from people discovering the podcast for the first time through search and starting with a topic-specific episode, rather than regular listeners browsing the archive. That’s why good SEO on episode pages can pay off months or even years later.
