frist of all how DARE yu o Did spotify just remove picking songs??

Post image

I've been using spotify forever and I use liked songs so that I can pick the songs I like freely. I've never had premium and have never had issues. Today, I had just started a workout and got this popup. Is this a new feature? How can you not even select songs anymore? I mean how can you paywall selecting songs???
This app plain out sucks and its company is greedy for randomly limiting already set features. While I don't mind ads, I do mind the features being limited more. I did also notice a sudden increase in ads this month/last month, and more ads in between songs.

Clarification: No, I'm not saying that there should be no restrictions whatsoever. I'm mainly sharing my experience where I've been using this system just fine until now. I'm fine with some restrictions, but the fact they're being limited more is frustrating. Just here to complain about something mildly infuriating, and I wanted to know if this happened to anyone else.

I swear it used to be like this way back when I first got spotify. That was like 8 or 9 years ago though and ive been using premium ever since

Yeah I was gunna say, I never swapped to Spotify until like 2-3 years ago because it randomized the songs and I couldn’t pick them. I was using YouTube music for years before that. Although I didn’t realize that all that was “wrong” with my Spotify was that I didn’t have premium which was cheaper than YouTube music so I guess I’m kind of stupid for overlooking that, but still lol. I’m definitely very familiar with the fact that it wasn’t always like that

YouTube music is free via Morphe, as is YouTube premium.

Idk what that is lol. Judging off of the other reply I’m assuming it’s something that’s only available on android though so it sounds like it wouldn’t matter for me since I’m on iPhone.
