what I got from the vagueness is that positives are allowed such as [[Valve#Positives]] but the article must not solely be them or otherwise might "sound like we are endorsing them". yes or no?

I have a direct Pocket Casts support email that may help source the “Showing advertisements to Champion/Lifetime users” section. | |||
On September 24, 2025 at 04:08 UTC, Pocket Casts support responded to my complaint about banner ads. The response stated that maintaining Pocket Casts had become “unsustainable on one-time purchases or free app downloads alone,” that Pocket Casts had moved to Plus/Patron subscriptions, and that banner ads had been introduced for users who do not have Plus or Patron. The email also framed ads as helping “keep the lights on” and directed me to try Pocket Casts Plus. | |||
I was a lifetime-license user. After I pushed back and pointed out that I had a lifetime license, the ads were removed from my account. I can provide a redacted screenshot of the email/thread if useful. [[User:ServiceLevelOne|ServiceLevelOne]] ([[User talk:ServiceLevelOne|talk]]) 17:38, 28 June 2026 (UTC) | |||
