For the record, I wasn't one of those people. I prefer to have a dialogue over punishing people for having an opinion, unless that opinion is harmful in some way.

Of course I'm just speaking for myself, but I personally have several reasons for not wanting podcasts in the app (when I say podcasts I'm mainly talking about the video verity.)
The main reason is because I am on a family plan and my middle school daughter uses the app for music. We used to have Spotify, but when they added podcasts essentially it became a video streaming free for all and I would find my daughter watching "podcasts" that were just people shouting profanity over video game streams and tik tok compilations. On top of being young, she has a neurological disability and Spotify turning the social media faucet on full blast was more than she could handle. She was sneaking to watch these videos instead of doing her school work and sleeping and it was really starting to affect her life. We switched to Tidal because it did not have those features and she went through some withdrawal but she is much healthier now that she's back to just jamming to music.
That ties into another point which is that nowadays anyone can throw a video together and call it a podcast regardless of the quality or content. Setting aside that I already have 8 different ways to watch this content on various audio and video streaming apps as it is, including podcasts on Tidal feels like a complete diversion from their marketing strategy of being the place to go for the very highest quality music. The small number of in-house music focused shows they feature now fit the brand well and I think they would lose their identity if they change that.
I could go on but this reply is long enough.
As far as I can tell, I'm actually in the vast minority in that I use the service on a family plan and with my DJ gear. Streaming for DJs is being removed from family plans and it now requires me to pay for an individual plan + $9 a month in addition to what I'm already paying for the wife and kids, so I'm thinking about canning it.

Follow up, mo fos! I got my up votes and down votes back thanks to Lemmy 19! Yeeeeeah Bwooyyyyy!

That's disappointing. The only reason I thought that might not be the case is because when I installed Boost and linked my accounts for the first time I was able to scroll through my home feed and see my upvoted posts made in a different app. Maybe the Boost app can keep track of upvotes and downvotes made within the app somehow as a special feature?
Is there a way to see a list of the posts I have upvoted and downvoted like I could with Boost for Reddit or is tracking those metrics limited by the lemmy platform? I have been missing this info in Jerboa and just assumed it would be tracked in Boost for Lemmy.
I love all of Gundam's stuff. I have all his albums.
Ayyy! I own this vinyl. 😎
Sorry, but that's not what the actual JAMA research study says:
To me, making the jump to say "Screen time directly linked to autism and ADHD" based on the data in this study is like a research paper noting "American football playing is associated with specific types of head trauma, including the types seen in car accident victims, but further research is needed to understand why" and then writing an article saying "AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYING DIRECTLY LINKED TO CAR ACCIDENTS!!!"
Here is a link to the actual research paper instead of a badly written sensationalistic article if anyone is interested:
