Be able to disable videos auto playing on my home screen

I think the new interface is fun for desktop or podcasts, but for everyday listening I am more interested in finding my playlists and suggestions without the videos running, and possibly adjust to save data on my phone.

I'd like to disable all types of wasteful video content in this terrible app.

As you can see there are videos in my homepage. I don't want to see any of it, it's a waste of energy and data.

Why is there no option to disable this superfluous "feature"?

Please let us turn off auto playing videos. Especially as soon as I open the app. It’s hard for me to think and remember what song I wanted to play when a video podcast pops up. I know I could switch to the music tab so the podcast suggestion will go away, but that is one step too many. I might’ve already forgotten this song by then. Please make an option to turn this off auto playing video content!

I'm amazed this idea hasn't gotten more traction. Please allow to disable silly random video playing on my home screen!

Please let me disable videos. Videos are buffered without my consent. I don't want to download data I'm not interested to see in the slightest
