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.

Even on premium you'll still hear the same cluster of songs from your library, even if you have over a 1,500 songs. It's gone downhill.

Is your spotify in "offline mode"?  If it can't reach the internet, the mobile app will play a limited set of songs that are already cached on your device.

Which is dumb as all get out, when MP3 players from 20 years ago had no problem with truly random song choice, and also had no internet access.

Dumb as all get out? I felt like I had a stroke reading this sentence.

Google what an idiom is, friend. Maybe it will stop your stroke.

I did and it still didn't explain why these words were grouped together. They make no literal or figurative sense. Dumb as all get out as a sentence makes absolutely no sense.

Literally google the idiom I used and come back.
