> Spotify has become focused on "generating background noise as profitably as possible"
What does this mean? I listen to the music I want to listen to, in my playlists. Where would I get exposed to this new focus? The only "feed" I can think of is my "Discover weekly" but that contains music. I don't think I've ever seen a podcast in my Spotify app.
- vvillena 4y agoPeople who interact with Spotify using the search feature as the entry point won't ever interact much with podcasts. The home screen, though, is filled with them. Given it's what every user sees when starting the app, it is indeed a big focus. That said, the contents of the home screen heavily vary. I've never listened to a podcast on their platform, but Spotify still suggests me lots of podcasts on my Windows desktop and my phone. For some reason, it never shows them on my work laptop. Maybe it's because I set the laptop's language to English instead of using my native language - I've noticed Spotify only suggests me native-language podcasts.
