Shouldn't the title start with "Pocket Casts" and not "Podcasts"? It should probably also be "Exorcising the ads" unless you mean making the ads hit the gym.

Yeah there are a bunch of typos throughout this article.
Wow, didn't know Pocket Casts has ads now. Just opened it up to check, and yep. Right on the homepage, an add for Pocket Casts Plus.
Maybe it's time to check out Antenna Pod
PocketCasts started paywalling simple features years ago. I haven't missed it at all since switching to AntennaPod.
Yup, I made the move a few months back as part of my move away from US products and really like it. Seamless
Antenna pod, just switch settings to change the subscriptions screen to the home screen, then put the toolbar on the bottom. Then it's a clean and simple podcast app.
I just use audiobookshelf for my podcasts. Self hosted, no ads, and it just works.
