So happy I never got started on that little dream project that’s been knocking around the back of my head for a couple years…
I respectfully disagree but ok
Otherwise cool, you prolly wrong but kay
I’m not wasting my time at this point explaining to someone what I think is cool about the Spotify API, especially after being flagged. The mob here has already demonstrated immense one-sided thinking.
Being scapegoated for the very thing the mob has done itself is an angering experience.
The person you replied to didn't call it useless, they said "The ability to make anything interesting with the Spotify API just got flushed."
Seeing as "several interesting but free APIs" were deprecated (your own words) it's a very reasonable take: most applications of the Spotify application that did anything more than present a basic music player interfaces relied on one or more the deprecated features.
Truth is you don’t have an explanation. Because there is no justification for closing down API endpoints like this. You’re just bootlicking Spotify despite their unreasonable actions, and got mad when others didn’t prostrate themselves in front of your corporate overlord of choice.
