I have been using PocketCasts for a long time, but it’s been enshitifying for a while now. The most annoying part is the huge amount of ads that are inserted in the podcasts, and I can’t even tell if that money goes to the creators or to PocketCasts.

So any good recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    If the pod was bought by Wondery or the like, they’d be responsible

    I had to set up a few of my subscriptions to skip the first and last 30s because of this, it’s very annoying!

      I don’t think they were bought by anyone, but their distributor did recently approve them for ads. I suggested that as a possibility, but she was pretty sure it was PocketCasts inserting them. We shall see either way.
