Unfollowing because it downloads other shows that “I may like” several times a week. Very annoying.
Umm, Consent?!? Hello?!?

I love this show, I love the concept...so much negativity comes at us constantly, this is a great 'thoughts and energy reset!' Yes, there are ads. That's not the fault of hosts, really...we all deserve to earn a living. Honestly, we all have 'commercial breaks' in our '9 to 5.' I don't mind them. I've considered (many times, actually!) supporting the show / network yet never have due to the invasive 'you may like *random show*' drop into my feed. No. I won't. If I wanted another show, I would find it just as I've found my other 103 subscribed pods. It's called CONSENT and I'm saying NO! STOP FORCING OTHERS AND THEIR PODCASTS INTO MY FEED!

After several years listening to this podcast they recently started automatically downloading additional content that you ‘might like’. I have an automatic playlist and I most definitely do not like unwanted content getting automatically added to the list. I have unfollowed the show because of this.
