You can't blame the browser for ads that websites show you. You can blame apple podcasts for showing ads featuring random podcasts that apple is promoting. Apple isn't to blame for any ads that air within the podcasts themselves tho.
replyI am not talking about ads within podcasts. When I am listening to an episode that I have in my library, I will get recommendations on other podcasts that I might like in the UI. Apple doesn’t give them the treatment that they are ads, but as far as I’m concerned, they are ads.
