So we just forgot Joe Rogan and continued with Spotify as if nothing happened? Cool, cool.
Are you new to internet drama? People use it to feel high and mighty for a couple weeks and get some sweet, sweet dopamine hits, and then they go back to doing exactly what they were doing before.
Sometimes I think there are companies and apps that would benefit from firing their entire UX/UI teams wholesale and then slowly rehiring a portion of them as actual problems crop up from their absence. A reset to this A/B madness of sorts.
This is a big frustration of mine, too. The other is that Spotify is extremely biased towards playlist listening and makes browsing and listening to a library of albums really painful. The good news is that Spotify's SDK and API are actually powerful enough that you can build up an entire alternative interface, which is actually what I recently started doing: https://i.imgur.com/ar7VrYy.png .
