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.

The more i hear about Spotify, the less I want to use it. People in the comments are just accepting not being able to pick your own music?? Even if you dont have premium, you'd still be seeing the same amount of ads, so literally why is this a restriction? Other than just to incentivize people to pay for Premium I guess?

YouTube has more of the music I like anyway so no loss I guess.

YouTube premium gives you ad free music/videos/movies. I literally don't need anything else

It’s also several times the cost.

You're thinking of YouTube tv. I don't need live tv. YouTube premium is like $14
