It's impossible to hide your username from your profile URL and this is a HUGE privacy risk since most people are unaware of this, especially for users who have their real name as their username.
I understand if Spotify doesn't allow users to change their username for identification purposes, but at least let us change it just once to a string of automatically generated letters and numbers, like when new accounts are created. We should be allowed the same courtesy at least.
I'd argue we were even deceived into a false sense of security because while we can change our display names, Spotify doesn't mention that your username can still be found out extremely easily through your profile URL.
Not only is this a massive privacy issue, since this entails a huge risk of doxxing. But this is also a HUGE inclusivity issue since I know of several cases of transgender people being forced to see their deadname in their username.
In my opinion, this should be a top priority for Spotify since this affects their oldest clients and as such we should have priority for our loyalty, otherwise we can just terminate our premium accounts and go to competitor services that will actually listen to our concerns.
