"Podcast should be hidden from all platforms" does not work as I'd expect

I created a single podcast, uploaded 2 episodes and set the Podcast as:

"Podcast should be hidden from all platforms" to yes. (this setting has no tooltip)

The Episodes settings of "Episode should be hidden from all platforms" is no.

When I then visit my baseURL I immediately was directed to the https://BASEULRL/@PODCASTNAME address and I see the podcast with its title image and description. The already published episodes are shown.

According to the section header this setting shows wethether the podcast is "Dead or Alive". I thought this setting would make the podcast disappear from castopod too , after all it is a Podcast should be hidden from all platforms setting. So either I did not understand its meaning correctly or it does not work.

I though that I use "Prevent podcast from being copied" when I don't want to have other platforms pick up my podcast, and "hide" to ... well .... hide it, including on my own.
