My account is used in Tbilisi, Georgia, which is a country in Europe not a state in US. I listen to podcasts on Spotify, primarily the Lex Fridman and Joe Rogan podcasts. I don't see any new episodes anymore and since new year podcasts aren't updating, and Spotify support couldn't help me.
As Spotify officially informed me, in Georgia, we can't see any videos on podcasts (possibly due to piracy or something similar) and I can only listen to them, but since 2023 began, I haven't received new episodes on these podcasts, which I know exist because we checked it with a Spotify advisor in chat. So, my issue is whether there is something wrong with my account or whether Spotify has blocked my country from receiving podcast updates.
