Don't listen to podcasts on Spotify. You'll be happier for it.

    Spotify is terrible for artists and pays peanuts compared to other services like Tidal. I understand the app is great, but it is not worth it. Spotify is all in on AI music to save even more money. Terrible company.

    It's not even that great anymore. In the recent years the app got bigger and bigger, the UI more confusing, it got intrusive features that are impossible to disable while not adding anything of value.

    For example, it started playing distracting, ugly. looped videos by default with no clear way to disable this. At the same time it became impossible to say "don't play this song even again".
