Not the above commenter, but I can totally understand the reasoning.
I considered a few different streaming services before ultimately settling on SoundCloud Go+. Spotify had two big strikes against it: the very low artist payouts and the prominence given to podcasts.
I buy most of my music, so when I stream, discovery of new artists and releases is the biggest focus. Spotify’s podcast focus detracts hugely from music discovery, so I passed on it.
If you’re really just focusing on music, having half the screen taken up by podcast recommendations is a huge slog.
