    People will use every one of these horrendous messaging subapps but scoff at the idea of downloading signal or even whatsapp.

    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.

      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 have to because my grandma spent so much effort learning how to use it and she loves it.

    I’ve been saying for years the thing Spotify needs are short vertical format video clips. The whole “music” thing is a fad.

    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.

      Or Snapchat, or Instagram, doesn’t matter. Remember memes like “Microsoft Office will now have Stories”?

        My post was not supposed to be that TikTok specifically is bad.

        my point was every platform (that uses attention as money generator) would eventually be some kind of short videos which emulates pov of user (vertical interface instead of TV horizontal interface) that encourage “engagements”

    I’d prefer it if they fixed the app so it doesn’t play random shit and subscriptions and notifications actually work.
