   I was surprised last week to find that Spotify has turned in to full on social media/youtube now.

   I left Spotify off of screentime limits for my son so that he could listen to music or books at bedtime, and found him watching "podcasts" which have full youtube style pages with videos and comments.

      Nobody stops to think "why not" when it is so easy to add certain features to software these days. But everyone wants to capture peoples attention and adding messaging is one way to do it.

         Spotify had Podcasts before they got Audiobooks in.
