It’s interesting to me that you talk about watching podcasts. To me, they are still mostly a feed of audio files with some outlier video podcasts gathering big audiences.
Am I out of date on that? Is video the primary format for podcasts now?

Human population. I bet they are used for training a significant number of big AIs.

No, but many podcasts are recorded and released on video as well. Its not that much extra work if you are already set up to record audio and it gives you another monetizable product from the same content.
You are right, the 'watch' ones are outlier podcasts, eg Lex Fridman, Rogan, Dwarkesh Patel, Tyler Cowen, The Diary of a CEO, Machine Learning Street Talk, Hoover Institute, and so on, but it is building momentum.
