Option to hide the podcast comments section

[MVD4]

Please develop an option to hide the comments section for podcasts. Users should be able to choose whether or not they see this section.

Yes to this. Or delete the function entirely. Social media has been ruined by garbage people with garbage comments and I don't want to see it in Spotify. We don't need to see Joe Blow's tirades when trying to enjoy a podcast.

Some podcasts are rich stories (like Worlds Beyond Number), but the comments contain episode spoilers and are automatically visible beneath the episode description. It would be very useful for users to be able to hide comments for podcasts that they don't want spoilers for.

Yes, please give the option
It's very annoying when watching the video for a podcast on my tablet, as the comment section is permanently on the bottom of the screen, cutting off a portion of the video, and giving me anxiety of burn-in on the OLED display.

Yes please give the option to hide, mute or even opt out of comments entirely. I'm on Spotify to listen to music and stories that I choose. I'm not on Spotify to see other people's unsolicited opinions.

I agree because I'll be listening to music and enjoying life and then I'll be forced to read someone's dumb ass comment

def need an option to turn off comments, especially on family/child ones. want my kids to listen to podcasts without seeing random peoples comments, some of which aren’t suitable

My favorite Dungeons and Dragons podcast got spoiled by comments 😞

I understand that vibrant comment sections can help podcasts grow, but as a premium user, it would be great to have the option to turn comments off.
This isn't a moderation issue, there are free Chrome Extensions that do this for most of the internet, maybe let paying users have the same options?
