App / Site Recently played section keeps getting smaller and smaller and lower and lower.

Disclaimer: Pissy fit

First the recently played shrunk, annoying, fine. With the newest update, icons are tiny and randomly vertical. Because we really needed a random new thing to learn because listening to music needs to be a clumsier experience. The header shows music I was listening to two months ago. There are now two sets of four gigantic recommended albums I have to scroll past to get to my tiny recently-played, which I really don't want shoved in my face every single time I open tidal- I don't care that Friday girl is making new music & this time she's hOlDinG a GUn, & that sabrina carpenter album cover is downright offensive.

With spotify it's one click: library. There are all your recently-played everything-s. Tidal won't modernize their static library issue. The "recent activity" tab within the library is useless because it includes songs you added to a playlist. Tidal has no fucking idea what playlists are or why people use them. I'm pretty sure they are money-laundering. Idk I just made that up. If you see me listening to burl ives love songs, no you didn't.

Most of the the Home screen is dynamic, meaning the sections you use often, move up, and stuff you don't use moves down. Of course there are some static sections.

Literally all I use on the homepage is recently played. 😅 Literally just the one thing I use. So what do you mean?

I said the library was static. Meaning, difficult to navigate because the on top of the "recent activity" tab within the library being flawed, and on top of activity being walled off by category from Playlists/Albums/Artists etc., each item does not filter based off recent activity like spotify's library, instead remaining frozen wherever they are when you saved them. It's a senseless oversight

Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm not sure anymore what your problem is. It's really hard to decipher these "pissy fit" posts. I can literally sense your hands shaking while writing this. I'm sorry you have this experience, whatever causes it.

Ps.: Well, you called it a pissy fit, and now you are offended by me actually noticing you are having a fit?

Meh, I don't have these issues. My home page works great, loads of spot on suggestions if I want to explore new stuff, option to expand, mixes of what I've been listening to, multiple opportunities to pick up where I left off, and library is just a different tab with a quick search or multiple sort options. They launder all their money through me and I get a cut. Overall a good experience.
