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.
Looks worse, does the same thing however so whatever. Spotify once again focusing on the wrong things. Prime enshittification There are songs uploaded with the wrong name that I’ve reported 8-ish years ago that have still not been fixed. Every now and then I’ll get a notification for a new release from an artist that I’ve never listened to because they share a name with an artist that I’m following. That thing doesn’t need fixing, nah…changing the heart button, that’s real stuff
songs uploaded with the wrong name…
Also lyrics showing for music without lyrics…smh
Enshittification does not mean a service getting worse in your opinion, it has a narrower definition - the practice of luring in users with an unusually good deal, many times subsidized by VC money, and then when you’ve got enough users hooked, you improve your bottom line at the expense of the quality of the service.
If you can show that this is something that is improving the bottom line at the expense of the service, then it would be enshittification, but I really don’t think you can.
They’ve made the free version worse and worse and have added more and more useless features to the paid version. Maybe it’s not enshittification in the strictest of terms, but it’s not far.(also lol, we’re talking about a 1 year old term as if it’s super established)
