Good example. Spotify today is noticeably worse.

I switched to Apple Music last year because of that. Spotify now has promoted songs in playlists and that was enough for me to cancel.

I will say the music discovery on Apple Music is lousy compared to Spotify, but oh well.

I dislike spotify but weirdly enough I can never point out exactly what's so frustrating about it...

App is slow. It plays music video content as default. Gui has many non interesting parts. I just want a list of albums and songs. I guess I just want it to be "boring but functional. :)

and messaging etc. making it a social network

And “commercially promoted” songs in playlists
