I believe they've just placed a bunch of stuff behind their premium subscription, like shuffle/repeat, lyrics, etc.

And being able to look at what’s on a playlist.

Nm I was wrong. I wanted to talk shit and now here I am.

I respect the integrity.

Interesting. Not a Spotify user, but that’s pretty gross. Looks like the way things are going and I’m becoming more okay with that. There are more and more commodities I’m becoming more and more comfortable not paying for.

I really thought it would go in the other direction for me: Making more money leading to being ok spending more. But it turns out I just dislike being nickel and dimed.

Why would free users expect more stuff for free lol. If that's Spotify's biggest complaint then you know they're doing pretty good.

They took free features away, so yeah, it's reasonable to assume they'd be upset.

Let's also remember it's ad supported. The idea was you got the app as it was with or without ads, but now the app itself is pay walled.

If that's Spotify's biggest complaint then you know they're doing pretty good.
