What Hacker News says

The code is horrible: https://github.com/ad-aures/castopod/blob/develop/app/Views/... Tight coupling of the HTML/PHP and JS. If they were going to use PHP, at least they could have used Laravel or Symfony and had standardized libraries for authentication, views etc. I just checked their Composer.json, looks like it uses CodeIgniter ... so maybe there is a framework in there but still the code quality is atrocious: https://github.com/ad-aures/castopod/blob/develop/composer.j...
In Castopod – Open-source podcast hosting platform
what do you mean, https://github.com/ad-aures/castopod states the license as AGPL which is just as FOSS as any other project to the likes or mastodon or peertube. how does it matter there is an advertising company paying for the project as long as the code is open for scrutiny and is a FOSS project? the likes of amazon and amd and even adobe is funding blender so does that mean those projects are ruined by corporate money? https://fund.blender.org/
