I actually hate this thing Spotify does. Before they had a way to sorting songs by playcount and it made it easy to find songs youd instantly like.

To increase cross sell with underrepresented artists or whatever the strategy is with this UI its quite a detriment when looking for songs you want.

If i wanted to discover artists id like to be able to do that myself, not have it be imposed on my search because of the way the designer thought it up, to increase cross sell to things i had no intention of listening to.

It's almost like a paid version of spam.

Netflix and Amazon are terrible. Want to continue what you were watching? Gonna have to find where we hid that this time, g’luck!

Which they openly admit to doing on purpose to “increase engagement” or whatever, even attaching a monetary value to shoving new stuff in your face before you can finish the old stuff.

Spotify used to be absolutely amazing, it really was!! It was my go to platform... Now it's just embarrassingly BAD and essentially unusable unless you're paying for it

And it’s not exactly a UX paradise if one is a premium customer either. I really find the UI hard work on desktop and mobile.

If and when Apple Music introduces a Duo equivalent tariff I will jump ship, for many reasons but a significant one is that I use Spotify exclusively for music yet it’s UI takes up a significant amount of premium space for podcasts. Apple had seen the light and spun off podcasts to a separate app from music.
