The application ui was made by marketing, or heavily influenced by them, that's pretty clear and they don't dogfood. You are basically paying amazon a disgusting monthly price for an ad delivery service. No way to disable recommendations or turn off display of suggestions. I am a capable adult and can find my own content like a big boy, thanks. The suggestion algo is pretty horrible also. You can tell they aren't friendly to free content like podcasts by the ui/ux around podcasts.
