Why the constant updates and restarts?

I’ts now almost everytime I open the deezer app that there’s a banner telling me to restart for an update and after the update there’s no change, or at least not a change that I can notice. Why is that?
All I want to do is listen to music or podcasts but I’m no longer sure I have the patience for this disruptive behaviour. I left Spotify for Deezer because Spofity is just a greedy, unethical company and to my knowledge, Deezer was the only other European option at the time. Thats no longer the case and though I much rather stay with Deezer, that change is nowjust one click away. Looking forward to hear why this keep happening and if there is something I can do about it.

Edit, this post was triggered by an update and right after writing it there was yet another prompt for and uclear update and restart, are mocking me Deezer 🤔

Hi
Perhaps you need to completely uninstall the app and reinstall it from the official Deezer website:

Cheers, and may the music (and podcasts) keep flowing!

It happens on the desktop apps (win/mac). It’s just a regulare banner popping up in the top prompting for restart and after that there’s a progress indicator and then the application load looking exactly the same as before the update.  I don’t see how a reinstall would change anything as it is the same on both windows and mac. It can happen every other day and then nothing for a week or two. Maybe its security patches or maybe just poor planning in the dev team. Regardless its super annoying and as a minimum they should explain what it is about but even better schedule and plan updates not to disrupt.
