        Plenty of things have been removed from Spotify or just bastardized over the years.

        The app is so much less useful overall, so many controls are just gone. It’s exhibit A for the dumbing down of modern apps. It went from being mature software designed to give users tools to control their experiences to a ranch designed solely to corral users into singular usage patterns.

        Interesting. Not a Spotify user, but that’s pretty gross. Looks like the way things are going and I’m becoming more okay with that. There are more and more commodities I’m becoming more and more comfortable not paying for.

        Why would free users expect more stuff for free lol. If that’s Spotify’s biggest complaint then you know they’re doing pretty good.

          They took free features away, so yeah, it’s reasonable to assume they’d be upset.

          Let’s also remember it’s ad supported. The idea was you got the app as it was with or without ads, but now the app itself is pay walled.

          If that’s Spotify’s biggest complaint then you know they’re doing pretty good.
