They also have this problem where a "Spotify Helper" can crash constantly, and you won't notice it unless you look at the process tree.

On macOS, this will start a ReportCrash process, and end up taking up an entire CPU core just repeatedly crashing, reporting a crash, restarting, etc. It also significantly impacts battery life.

This happens every day for me. It's arguably worse than the SSD-killing SQLite vacuum problem they had.

I haven't seen this one personally, but I get the same crash-loop from the Discord app.

Weirdly enough, the crashes don't seem to affect any of the app's functionality.
