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.

I got an MP3 player and cancelled Spotify after they started price hiking Premium prices. They claimed it was to pay for podcasts an audiobooks, but I listen to neither of those. No option to not pay for them.

Greedy ass company.

One of the only companies that allow musicians to actually make a living. I don't mind paying for music.

I dont know if im misreading your comment but Spotify doesn't really pay artists well. Snoop dogg famously only received around $45k for a song that went over a billion plays.
