I fucking hated spotify from the moment I first interacted with it, primarily due to the way the app worked, and its exploitative position as middleware.

Convenience be damned if it’s a net loss to society.

What was it that you hated? I remember both the program and the app when it came being quite useful, if not as polished as it is now of course

It sets itself to autostart, and then hid the setting deep on a second screen. Opt-out plus malicious design, for one example, and the algorithm and pay structure for another.

Not the person you asked the question to but, for me it was dogshit music selection. I dislike radio music, my forte of music is almost exclusivley EDM based. Spotifies selection for glitchstep/dubstep/chillstep was a joke when i was looking into it. Plus I heavily disliked their leaning into requiring an account to even listen.
