Bizarre problem today: I was force subscribed to a Logan Paul podcast and I can't unsubscribe. (lemmy.zip)

I noticed a new background image on the Android podcast app this morning. I thought one of my podcasts changed their icon art. Nope, it's a Logan Paul podcast. I've never listened to any of his stuff. I only heard about him when he challenged someone to an MMA fight I think?

I only listen to Behind the Bastards, The Dollop, and Prosecuting Donald Trump, plus occasionally My Brother My Brother and Me.

I figured maybe one of my kids had subscribed or I had hit a subscribe button on the home page. Well, in the app, when I unsubscribe it immediately re-subscribes. I saw where other users had the same problem and it went away after an hour. This was 11 hours ago. I pulled it up on the Web version of Google podcasts. It looks like it unsubscribes but if I refresh, I'm subscribed again.

Any ideas? Is there a way to block a podcast?

Edit: Problem still persists 24 hours later. I'm not allowed to turn on the explicit filter either. On the app or on the web interface. What's a good android program that will record video of my screen and highlight taps? I want to record this. I think I still have OBS studio on my computer to show the web behavior.

It behaves the same on their website, which doesn't use the app at all. I think it's back end. Which is why I was hoping there was a way to block it. Maybe I can turn on the explicit filter? I'll have to resubscribe to most afterwards.

Edit: I'm not able to turn on the explicit filter. App or web.

Switch to Podcast Addict. Great app!

Time to use a new podcast app/service I think. Sounds like this one is pretty buggy and unreliable
