Bill Simmons, a key Spotify content head, called Harry and Meghan "grifters" in 2023 after Archetypes underperformed, producing just 12 episodes amid production issues and low engagement. Recent comments from ex-bosses echo this, blaming "laziness" and unfulfilled promises for the deal's collapse, with Spotify clawing back funds.
