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...
