iOS Home Screen Disable Video Content Revert to Old Format

I don't know when this change occurred, but the iOS Spotify Home Screen used to be a nice and tidy display of Recently played, Made for You, Popular and all that has been replaced by these GIANT looping videos one pane at a time. I'd really like to be able to stop video content of all kinds and ideally just go back to the old layout. Is this possible? This is such a big step backwards in functionality. I can see wanting this view elsewhere to browse, but as the Home Screen it just doesn't make sense to me.

Hi there @tohst

Thanks for reaching out. We are always testing things by adding or removing features to make Spotify better overall. As with any of our tests, some could potentially make their way onto Spotify, while others are mainly aimed at capturing valuable insights. We always welcome your feedback on the matter as it helps us find the right path forward.

Hope this clears things up.

this does not clear things up, can we go back to the old layout?

The videos on the home page are not good
