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)

I was just kidding/projecting on a shitty future...

Bring back the ruthless top 8 friends.

I just had my 8 variations of parodied Jesus.

Nope. AI chatbots. Can’t have chatbots without messaging.
