Re:The day I canceled my Spotify subscription by gubikmic on Monday February 19, 2024 @08:11AM (#39429365)
I think Spotify is still quite good overall. They sometimes make very bad UI decisions. But the latest home screen desaster (of huge, almost full-screen size tiles) was luckily already rolled back.

My main gripe is that it carves overly deep channels around what I've listened to before. For discovering new music I find Shazam more valuable. I wish Spotify had some clever randomness.

A good example are Tarantino soundtracks with songs from all over the genre landscape. I've never seen Spotify create playlists like that.

When staying within a genre the autoplay can be amazing though.
