Why not?
Like I don't see the point of them adding it, either. But why would it be so bad?
I’m not the OP, but when Spotify added these is made the user experience worse.
I used Spotify for music and only music. So seeing a row or two of podcasts inserted before music was really annoying. Getting podcast recommendations was also annoying. If they would have let me just opt out of seeing podcasts, there would not have been any issues. But they didn’t.
I don’t use Spotify anymore.
Thanks, makes sense!
Edit: ha, I got downvoted by a bunch of peolle for asking a question, apparently
For the record, I wasn't one of those people. I prefer to have a dialogue over punishing people for having an opinion, unless that opinion is harmful in some way.
