Hmm. @nprofile1q... - are spam/AI shows from Podcast Index removed entirely, or just marked as invisible? I was curious to discover how many Inception Point AI shows are there - "only" 8,100 that I can find. And BuddhAI, which you highlighted as adding 500 new feeds in 24 hours, has nothing in the Index at all (or in the downloaded SQL version).

As with @nprofile1q... 's list - if Podcast Index is just a censored list of shows, it removes part of the benefit.
