Interesting. Do you apply this to all platforms? If a supermarket sells products that you like, alongside products you don't like, do you stop shopping there?
Not the GP, but yes, definitely. If a store or brand has collaborations with the wrong people etc., that's definitely a reason to not shop there. I don't find Joe Rogan terrible enough to cancel my spotify subscription, but if they started collaborating with say Alex Jones, I'd find another streaming service in a heartbeat.

#32Perfect, I have been wanting to get off of Spotify ever since they teamed up with Joe Rogan.

There's a bit of difference between "my grocery store sells seaweed snacks and I don't like them" and "this company gave $100M to someone problematic".

#34Their response was some random canned response about how you can still export your data. I'm not a fan of lock in, and I'm even less thrilled about not actually responding to my actual questions and instead giving me some canned BS.
I responded back telling them thanks for not even reading my question and responding with a canned response, then asked for instructions on how to delete my account. I haven't heard back. For what it's worth I wasn't rude in any of this, I was straight and to the point, but I was not rude. Now they seem to be simply ignoring me.
I'm definitely not spending my money with this service any more. I used to feel a tiny bit sad for them competing with Apple and their whole complaint against Apple and payment stuff. But after seeing this shitty set of responses from them I just no longer care, it feels like they've brought at least some of this on themselves.
As a sidenote, I'm sort of fed up with customer support in general these days. Snippeted answers are great when they make sense. I.e. a user is asking a simple question, you can take the approach of some personalization sprinkled with snippets to make your life easier and your messaging more consistent. But when you have an unhappy, or upset customer, the last thing you should do is throw in some canned response that doesn't even address their concerns.

hahahaha this BS again. God forbid someone has an opinion different from you or, even more indirectly, hosts someone with an opinion different from you.

My opinion is that Rogan is problematic.
You needn't share it, but you appear to endorse my right to hold that opinion, while simultaneously telling me to "get the fuck out"? I'm somewhat confused.

Are there any big differences between iOS and Android versions?
Well, for starters, they do not support Apple Watch, which is very problematic for me.

#39They are open with data, have good API's etc until they get market dominance then they stop supporting many of those same things.
They have dropped their support for Linux Clients, they closed most of their API's, and various other things
It is a repeating pattern with companies that are disrupting a market

The support Apple Watch, just not downloading songs for offline usage, right?
