Re:Spotify to trim 6% of workforce, content head to depart by criddell on Monday January 23, 2023 @09:21AM (#34489022)
I have a few problems. Spotify for me is about music and that’s it. Why can’t I remove podcasts or audiobooks? They are using too much of my screen to promote stuff they care about and I don’t.

Also, they really, really don’t want you to turn off in-app notifications. I’ve gone through the settings and turned off every single switch I can find and now instead of getting a notification for “band $x is playing in your city” I’m getting a notification that I have notifications disabled and so I’m missing out on all the stuff they want to promote. Occasionally they decide to turn notifications back on and I have to go through them again to find which ones they flipped.

We pay for the family plan and as soon as my kids are off of it, I’ll probably switch to something else.
