I’m really disgusted with the lack of control to dismiss recommendations etc. as a PAID subscriber.

The only recommendations they give is to listen to MORE to change the nature of the advertising.

I don’t want to see (insert some brand of shit podcast) on my home screen but there’s no way to make it go away!

You can use InnerTune to listen to free music from the YouTube Music library.

It sucks that it even needs to be done, but on the desktop client at least there's a program that I use to reskin Spotify and add plugins for functionality like blocking podcasts and audiobooks. If you wanna check it out it's called Spicetify

Thanks! I’ll check that out. I listen to podcasts, but I don’t want stuff FORCED onto my main screen if I cannot turn it off. If o could dismiss it, I wouldn’t really care so much.
