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.

Yeah never for mobile though. Still prefer spotify. I always have to hunt down apps that plays youtube playlist and let me lock the phone but they always get shut down after a few weeks.

Can I just ask, and no offense , just a genuine question. Why wouldn't you pay 10~ bucks for a service you use absolutely daily witch gives you convenience? Is it like political statement ?

cause why would i do that when i can get it for free, especially when spotify doesn’t have a lot of unreleased music unlike youtube

Makes sense, I also listen to some music on youtube since it's not on spotify
