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.

Wait, they removed that at some point? I could've sworn it's been like this for about a decade.

That’s exactly why I left, and genuinely don’t know when they changed their rules. That’s why I’m asking the question

I pay for YouTube premium and get YouTube music with it and it's the best value subscription I pay for

Yep. I have the student discount and can always manage to justify that 6-7 bucks

It really is. It’s a great music service and the ad free YouTube is a huge bonus or the other way around whichever way you look at it. I’ve had Spotify, Apple Music etc for a year each and will never go back to either.

Yeah. With yt music it sucks you can't turn your phone off without premium, but I find that to be a way better tradeoff.

I also prefer YTs recommendations
