Spotify desperately needs to get rid of their bloat

It's insane how long it takes for me load a song to play, especially since they're instant that I should only ever play the same 20 songs on repeat anyways. Please get rid of videos, shorts, AI and other garbage that's not songs and actual cool info about when such and such artist overdosed. I know the app shouldn't be this slow because it didn't used to be this slow years ago.

My current belief is that unnecessary features are forced by middle management and implemented by an unskilled workforce and it's such a big user base that they're scared of fixing/removing things, but it's making their maintenance costs higher because now they have to front load a bunch of data every time you open the app, and that they're trying to save data costs by prodding you to listen to the songs that are already saved to cache memory.

I might have to go back to downloading mp3 files and carrying around a walkman. Does apple still make ipods?
