Yep.. This is a classic example of how many subscription services have embraced user-hostile design, and focus on trying to force the behaviour they want, rather than adapt to the behaviour a paying customer wants. I will never use Spotify for podcasts. Nothing against them having podcasts, but I have other ways to consume them. I would love to turn all that shit off in the UI, the same way I can turn off Radio and other things in iTunes. But no, Spotify will forever push that shit on me - a paying customer - because they hope I will eventually relent under pressure and start using it, or something. And that disrespect for their customers really sucks.
