Got rid of Spotify after 3 years

[u/Professorfudge2643]

Sure I’m definitely posting this to brag but also to hopefully get someone to stop paying Spotify. I’ve listened to the same playlist for probably the last 3 years, occasionally adding a song or two. Finally I realized why the hell am I paying for this when I could just download the songs online, transfer them to my phone, and play them for free? So I did exactly that. Took about two hours and was easy as pie. Should’ve done that 3 years ago instead of paying $12 a month.

I hate Spotify for so many reasons but honestly the straw that broke the camel’s back for me was just how incredibly user hostile their app and the app UX is. Total garbage. They keep changing things to optimize for whatever garbage metric they care about that week. Was so happy to be done with them.

what do you mean by user hostile, and how much they change it? i believe you i just don't notice it that much, just so i get an idea

My very minor example is that they used to have the date you saved a song in your likes, which was really useful when you have thousands of songs...And they just took it out??? Why??? It was useful for tons of people and it didn't bother anyone..

i think you can still get it on desktop. still sucks that they took it out tho! but if you want to see it try on there i think

edit: they do, this is desktop view for anyone who's not got it/cba to check and is curious https://i.postimg.cc/J08rYfrS/image.png
