Pocket Casts did some update I didn’t like so I switched to Podcast Republic and haven’t looked back. I do have Spotify Premium aswell but that is and always will be for music only.
Just an illustration of what the article is talking about; I can switch to another app and still get the same podcasts. Not the case with Netflix, Spotify, HBO and so on.
i stopped using pocket casts when they started adding pay for features into the main UI but disabled. i’d bought pocket casts but up until that point i was glad it was made free as it was the best podcast app for android, now i use antennapod, and it’s fine.
Probably putting Apple Watch and file features behind a sub. That happened ages ago but they really haven’t change the UI since I’ve been using it for a decade (or so).

What does this have to do with the article? Maybe I missed something reading it?

Ah, that makes sense now. Definitely didn’t pick that up at 6a this morning. 😉
What did they change that you didn’t like? I have used it for years. I’m not looking to switch but I’m curious to know what made you switch.
I don’t honestly even remember. Most likely had something to do with the UI
