There was backlash when they tried to take away the premium lifetime membership after the last acquisition. Wonder what Automatic have planned to deal with this

  Tried to? I can't seem to find a lifetime option at the moment. I was so disheartened by crappy podcast apps that when I discovered pocket casts, I looked for a premium membership within 5 minutes. Imagine my dismay when I only saw a recurring subscription model. I am still not a plus member. Lifetime membership would be great.

    Succeeded. It was originally a one off $4 for iOS, $4 for Android, and $10 for the web service + electron apps. Following acquisition by NPR et al, they announced that the base mobile apps would go free, and the web apps would be part of a $10/yr Pocket casts plus subscription, along with some extra functionality. Following some backlash, they gave web-app buyers a lifetime Pocket Casts Plus subscription. You could never actually buy the lifetime PocketCasts Plus membership.
