And the enshittification of Spotify rolls on.
??? spotify started out with social network shit in it
🙄 Of course it fucking is. Gotta milk and harvest as much money and data from people as possible.
B-but I don’t want a social network in my streaming app
I honestly don’t understand how Spotify is so popular. I’ve had multiple attempts over the years of subscribing for a month or two at a time and it’s always been terrible. Its like Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon or something - I always end up listening to the same couple of dozen “popular” songs no matter where I started.
I kick off with some random bluegrass hillbilly banjo shit and within half an hour of random song selection it’s on Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran again.
And if you opt for [artist name] Radio, it’s literally the exact same playlist every time. That’s not what radio is!
At least with YouTube Music you can change between Related / Deep Cuts / Explore etc and force it to regenerate your queue with more variation. And [artist name] Radio actually chooses different random songs each time.
