Make it stop.

Fuck this whole shit.

What’s your beef with this?

Or is it just that it includes the letters AI that you have an issue?

My beef with this, is that Spotify is relentless with pushing podcasts. I’m not interested in podcasts. I just want them permanently gone from my Spotify for all of eternity, but alas, I can’t get rid of them. When they start pumping out AI generated translations of popular podcasts, I can’t even imagine how hard they’ll push it.

I can choose “Music” and “Podcasts & Shows” on Home page on the mobile app at least, but that changes the feed massively and makes it useless. Spotify is such a trash app already, and I’m just waiting for an alternative that works in my country, but alas…
