So Spotify recently changed from a green heart and a block song button to and + and a - for liking and disliking. What is your opinion?

My personal preference would be to bring back the green heart and make a deep red broken heart.

And I know spotify is proprietary yada yada I don't care for music streaming. So pls don't let it be a part of the discussion.

To reference this is an old screenshot I found on the internet.

There is none, I don't think the screenshots are of the new design OP talks about. I also checked in my app, and I have either a +/- (well I have a + in a circle that adds songs to playlists) nor a ๐Ÿ‘ or ๐Ÿ‘Ž or anything.

I think that's in fact supposed to be the joke, anyways. That Spotify does not have a like/dislike button.

The minus only shows up for recommendations/auto-generated things, to allow for signals that this is not the stuff you want to listen to.

It wouldn't make sense to have it in for example your liked songs, as those are curated by yourself, instead of being curated algorithmically.
