Getting current player name hangs the bash until it executed with ^C #324

Getting the current player name with playerctl status --follow --format "{{ playerName }}" hangs the bash. I wonder if it is a bug or if it is working as intended. I can reproduce every time I run the command. Using EndeavourOs(Arch). FYI, I am attempting to play-pause the most recently updated player.

Isn't that exactly what --follow is meant to do?

       -F, --follow
              Block and output the updated query when it changes
