Meghan Markle’s Podcast Archetypes Gets Dumped by Spotify

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been dumped by Spotify following the lackluster performance of her podcast Archetypes.

The podcast was part of the Archwell brand, which she and her husband Harry launched last year.

The news was confirmed by Bill Simmons, the Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetisation at Spotify, who called the couple “effing grifters.”

He also revealed that they failed to meet the productivity benchmark required to receive the full payout of $20 million.

The Archetypes podcast was meant to feature conversations with “important women,” but it failed to impress listeners.

The premise of the show was to talk about the labels that hold women back, but it quickly became apparent that Meghan was more interested in promoting her own image than discussing important feminist issues.

The podcast was also criticized for lacking substance and being full of self-love and grandiosity.

Each episode of Archetypes was set up to carefully massage Meghan’s own persona, much like the PR scene in South Park, where they get her to craft an image of being a victim.

The podcast was meant to inspire women and speak to important women, but it failed to do so.

Meghan was set up as some sort of Oprah figure, as though she were the kind of feminist that not only the listeners but her guests should aspire to be.

The problem is that she never told us what it is that is so good about her.

The podcast featured famous guests such as Mariah Carey and Serena Williams, but it failed to impress listeners.

Meghan set herself up as a beacon of feminism and ambition, without ever telling us what it is that she has done for feminism outside of marrying a prince.

The podcast was also criticized for being full of self-love, grandiosity, and talk of her own greatness since she was five years old as a feminist.

Meghan and Harry think that their listeners are stupid.

They think that they can pull the wool over their eyes.

The worst part is that Meghan pretended to be this important, successful person in her own right, while also making sure to drag Harry into parts of the episodes of the podcast, making it seem unplanned because she knows she is nothing without him.

This is not a feminist approach.

The Archetypes podcast was enough to get Meghan a $20 million contract for 10 episodes.

That’s $2 million per episode.

The other reason why people were annoyed by them is professional pride.

Most podcasters have to work hard to make their podcasts successful, but Meghan just turned up, spoke to famous guests, and went home.

She had every possible advantage, but she was untalented and refused to work hard.

Spotify has cancelled the Archetypes podcast after 10 episodes.

Meghan and Harry didn’t meet the productivity benchmark required to receive the full payout of $20 million.

The couple has been criticized for not knowing the meaning of true graft.

Meghan’s podcast was about the labels that hold women back, but she couldn’t be bothered to work.

The couple has been called “effing grifters” by Bill Simmons, the Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetisation at Spotify.

Ultimately, if Meghan and Harry aren’t talking about the royals, nobody is interested in what they have to say.

They’re trying so hard to seem serious and intelligent, but simply aren’t.

They now have enough money to live on ten times in a row if they want.

So in a sense, they’ve won.

But will that be enough to satisfy them?

Will they come back with more?

It remains to be seen.
