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.
You are mentioning things that enshitified it. Radio used to good, I've discovered 1000s of new songs through radio and 1000s of non mainstream artists through discover weekly playlist. The price raising has always been a stain, at first it was so cheap I didnt mind the price going up but its gone to far now. Its so crap now though, barely a music streaming platform.
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.
of course feel free to use the competition we eliminated.
