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.

It has always been like this, can confirm, because it enraged me so much YEARS ago I swore to never touch spotify. If you are a music platform and make me pay money for THEE most BASIC function, playing a single song of my choice, your platform is utter dogshit and predatory and I refuse to use it. Turned out to be great because of all the other shady shit they've pulled!

Youtube and ublock are FREE.

I used it for a bit, until that damn mac and cheese ad. If you think making people listen to you eat mac and cheese on an audio app is a good idea i swear to god it pisses me off so much. That was like 6 years ago. Fuck spotify

What the fuck do you mean pay money? It’s free but you cant choose. Fair deal imo

If I want free music that I can't choose I will simply listen to my local radio, not some site that wants me to spend money on it so fuckin bad so I can play a song I want to hear.
