Spotify are about to loose me as a customer after the better part of a decade as a paying premium subscriber for one reason: putting videos in the form of mini documentaries and puff pieces in curated playlists and not adding a way to auto skip them.
I have had Spotify in the background of pretty much all aspects of my life for years but these videos discussing the inspiration of a song through to an artist designing his own sneakers breaks my concentration and is driving me mad.
Spotify don’t care, an option to block these videos has been asked for, a “Community Idea” for the feature to block them has over 2,000 votes (the threshold for Spotify paying attention is 100) so I am off to Deezer.
Spotify was in the category of non negotiable and alongside heating and internet as a household bill so I’m pretty bummed they now want to be YouTube but in portrait only.
