I already have the desktop app, what difference should this even make? Pointless gatekeeping by the devs

    I don’t do podcasts in Spotify cause I hate how it melds together with my music. I wish I could turn the feature entirely off. There’s not enough separation.

      Also, Spotify is actively trying to ruin and fragment podcasts by running exclusive content. Fuck them with a rusty rake for trying to ruin one of the last mass interoperable platforms with their walled garden horse shit. Fuck them so much.

      Don’t use Spotify. Even if they fix the app and make it good, don’t use it. They’re evil little fuckers. Use literally any other podcast app.

        Podcast Addict has worked for years for me, and he’s constantly improving it. Why the fuck would I ever want a paid service to manage and profit on the podcasts I’ve always listened to for free?

      I left Spotify because of that and the pop up ads every time I opened the app. All I want is to pay for a library of music that I can download and play.

        I complained about the ads to their support and they kept telling me they’re sorry about the promotion but they’re not ads.

        Uhhh what. That’s like the definition of an ad. Lol.
