My Question or Issue

hi, i have had a problem with the new episodes section of my spotify account. there’s a podcast i listened to a few episodes of and the unfollowed, but it still appears in my new episodes section. i’ve tried marking all the episodes i listened to as unplayed, refollowing and unfollowing, deleting and reinstalling the app, but none of this has stopped the podcast from appearing in the new episodes section. does anyone know if there’s a way to fix this? it’s very annoying since this podcast is much more active than any other i listen to and it often ends up taking too much space in the new episode section.

Mid 2024 and still not fixed.

This feature is unbelievably annoying. Because of this, I don't even want to click a new show to see what's inside, because if I click a wrong one it will forever haunt me on my top screen.

Can spotofy remove this buggy "New Episode" feature from the top screen until the bug is fixed?

Because of $$, spotify earns so much green on this that its not called a
bug, its called the TOP feature... They have no reason at all to remove it
because their costumers pay anyway... So its not a bug, its a feature... A
feature that earns a lot of revenue...

I have no sources on this, but i cant see any other reason...
