Ask HN: Why is the Spotify UX so horrible?

A few questions for anyone at Spotify:

- Why isn't there a list of new episodes from podcasts you follow? (This should be MVP- absolutely every other podcast service i know of has this!) - How exactly am I supposed to use the "your episodes" playlist? - Why don't podcasts always sort correctly when you go to a podcast list? - Why can't I search within an artist's page? even if it's limited to their discography? - Why can't there be a separate list item in the sidebar for podcasts, artists and albums? - Why can't I get to the "find podcasts" area from the library (or the your episodes area)? this used to exist! - in the podcasts section in your library, why can't I sort by most recently updated?

I get why Spotify is pushing podcasts so hard, but why not implement some absolutely basic features?

Phone issues: - Why does it take so long (if it even shows up) for downloaded podcasts to show up when you're offline? - what's the point of downloading them if they won't show up?!?!?!?!?!
