I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    Might I add, I hate the way every user-facing UI has devolved into the Youtube Shorts / TikTok “doomscrolling” swipe-UI now. There seems to be absolutely not a single braincell left in UI development to even consider the actual use case of the interface.

    It’s all just:

    1. Monkey see UI to build.
    2. Moneky see TikTok big.
    3. Monkey do.

      Not sure what this has to do with the post. You don’t need to swipe to dismiss that modal.

        Hold on! This is a modal?! That’s even worse, I had these card-style things as scrollable cards before! 😧

          what’s worse about it? You just need to touch “DISMISS”
