Internet company invents a whole new way to receive unsolicited pictures of genitals
Why
I’d prefer it if they fixed the app so it doesn’t play random shit and subscriptions and notifications actually work.
How has nobody used to mention that this ALREADY used to be a feature they had before they killed it. I remember in high school me and the girl I was dating used to send eachother playlists. I didn’t even know spotify had killed the feature until I went looking for one of those playlists in my inbox that used to be there.
Taking a page out of googles play book are we?
And they still don’t offer 2FA.
Thanks, but I would rather gnaw of my own feet
NSFW bots sending you spam links and crypto scammers. Yea !!!
every platform becomes TikTok at the end.
Or Snapchat, or Instagram, doesn’t matter. Remember memes like “Microsoft Office will now have Stories”?
People will use every one of these horrendous messaging subapps but scoff at the idea of downloading signal or even whatsapp.
It’s a good thing that people refuse to download Whatsapp/Meta crap
When you see things like this remember that you’re paying for this. Stuff like this is why the price has gone up again.
They had a good thing near perfect but they kept adding useless features and bloating the app and price. I need to cancel this shit but my grandma loves it.
I am not paying for this :)
you shouldn’t either
Spotify was never anywhere near perfect.
Radio? More like exact same 50 track curated playlist on repeat.
Want to listen to music? Here’s Joe Rogan. Again. Don’t skip him, or we’ll automatically subscribe you to his channel.
Enjoying something a little outside your normal 20 tracks we constantly play you? Well let’s fix that… Back to the same tiny pool of content loser.
Couldn’t help but notice you had some money left over this month. That’s good, because the price just went up again.
of course feel free to use the competition we eliminated.
Don’t forget putting fake AI songs into playlists when they think people won’t notice. After all they already pay artists the least of all the streaming services, might as well try to avoid it all together.
Nobody that likes music should be using Spotify.
Once they brought on Podcasts and wouldn’t stop shoving Joe Rogan on every screen I absolutely cancelled. I never listened to a single podcast on there yet they were the overwhelming majority of my recommendations. I was also getting annoyed with the random pop-ups of ‘hey wanna try this band that sounds absolutely nothing like anything you’ve ever listened to on our platform before?’…nope! Didn’t need Audible either. The price just kept going up…like guys, I want a music app. That’s it. Nothing else.
Uninstalled Spotify over a year(or 2 or 3?) ago…don’t really miss it.
I’ve been saying for years the thing Spotify needs are short vertical format video clips. The whole “music” thing is a fad.
I know you’re joking but… They actually do already have that. So many songs have a short looping video instead of the album cover or static background when you have the screen open.
You can turn this off in the settings.
There was a short time period, during which Spotify would automatically start playing reel-like demos of song releases with audio, when you open the app.
Imagine following artists with explicit lyrics, and it starts blasting in the public, because you just wanted to show an album to your friends. Maybe I am wrong, but I think it also included artists that are popular in your area, which makes even worse, as a lot of people here listen drill music.
Luckily, they reverted the stupid change.
Oh yeah I forgot about that because I disabled it 2 minutes after seeing it for the first time.
close enough. welcome back, iTunes Ping
Soon: reels, shorts, videos and second hand underwear.
They’ve had the first 3 for a while
which I hate… especially the “shorts”…
tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control… I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)… but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.
People be like “parent’s should take responsibility for their kids”… I’m like “mf, I’m trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media” And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it’s not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.
There are plenty of music services that aren’t trying to do that.
At that point I’d just say “we’re not going to use Spotify any more” and switch to something else.
Such as?
I’ll start: Tidal, SoundCloud, Deezer (has ties to Russian oligarchs so gotta be careful)
What the hell!
I was just kidding/projecting on a shitty future…
UK identity verification will finally make sense
/s
Nope. AI chatbots. Can’t have chatbots without messaging.
And Stories. Don’t forget stories
Bring back the ruthless top 8 friends.
I just had my 8 variations of parodied Jesus.
Mhmm. Still waiting for lossless……
