Goodness, feels as if I could have written this post :)
I have Spotify premium because I got a year long offer for less than 1/10th the price. Since I anyway used ad-supported Spotify I went for it. I really didn’t see any improvement:
- The UX sucks, more so - there’s nothing much to say here really
- They still push podcasts and different languages down my throat, more vehemently
- The recommendations still drive me mad
- They keep adding things, like that short video, that doesn’t let me listen to music peacefully, rather violently distracts me.
- So much so that I kinda limit myself to Liked. So that I don’t really have to interact with the app.
Then why I stay and stayed with Spotify? Because I don’t use Google (so no YouTube Music for me) and Apple Music sucks trucks and rails when it comes to India/Pakistan music, more so when I am looking for some old music.
Everything else is worse than even Spotify. But still it’s not worth paying for!
I thought of heading back to the high seas. But after W.CD that part is lost as well (no, nothing could replace that; O and R are not even a fraction of its shadow).
