Maybe I'm old but I'm really getting annoyed with apps becoming so bloated with features. The podcast integration was part of why I left Spotify. I was tired of having podcasts pop up on my home screen. Tidal luckily is free from this for the moment.

Ha yeah I run openSUSE on my laptop and Debian on my server.

It's also weird because that was the whole idea of the smartphone app economy, after all. Have a specialized app for every purposes, then install the apps you want and hence the use cases you want to cover.

I don't even mind Spotify having podcasts and music, just that it should be Spotify Music and Spotify Podcasts.

I'm of the same opinion. I'm tired of every app trying to take all my attention and do everything to the point where they do nothing well.

I want a video app, a music app, and a podcast app. I left YouTube Music for Tidal because I got tired of YT Music trying to push too many bloated features.

I moved to Tidal + Plex. Loving it so far.
