As a mostly happy Spotify Premium user I expected to disagree, but OP is actually on point. I realize I only use "search" and "like" and basically ignore the rest of the app. Spotify on mobile probably has the worst UX out of all the apps that I use regularly. This might sound harsh but it is actually bad. The home screen is beyond useless. I literally have a three year old album under "Popular new releases" and it's been there for two years and I have been listening to it regularly. Why is it there? A section titled "Discover picks" shows me albums that literally have in my library and have listened to for many years. If I scroll long enough, I get to a weird story-inspired feed that snap-scrolls with content that seems to have no relation to what I've been listening to.

I think the feeling that it's bad is made worse if you've been a long time user, because I remember that it used to be better. I dislike that they pushed so much for the liked playlist thing, and that it's now a bit tedious to navigate into just looking at my playlists. I also really dislike their annoying push for podcasts, and this would really be a super quick and easy opt-out section in the settings of the app. And I think from here it's a good transition into what this makes me feel: I feel like Spotify doesn't give a shit about me anymore and they are just trying to squeeze me. And that really rubs me the wrong way. But I also have no alternative lined up.
