I already have the desktop app, what difference should this even make? Pointless gatekeeping by the devs

Yup, we're the product to them. I even deliberately use an older version of the app before they added those TikTok like videos in the search area because I get better music suggestions than the new version.
The app is nearly impossible to use to just find new music now. Discover Weekly has been a joke for ages too.
I don't work for Spotify but I am a mobile app dev and while this could easily just be trying to funnel people into the app it could also be focused on preventing bots and fraud.
Mobile phones offer significantly better tamper resistance compared to laptops and PCs. If someone gives a rating from your app on a phone there are several different forms of attestation available to be sure it's not a bot or fake account, none of which work on PC.
And if you're trying to combat the rampant fraud that happens around review manipulation, that is one solution.
Fr, I just listened to the most recent 2-3 months worth on my backlog (I auto-archive my DW lists so they don't disappear the next week lol) and I think a whopping 2 songs made it on to my master playlist. Usually there's like 10 or more for similar time periods...I was just blaming it on my tastes confusing the algorithm (I like to jump around genre's a LOT lmao) but maybe it wasn't just me after all lol
If you save a song the system thinks you like it, so by continually auto-saving all the songs on your discover weekly you're actually training it to give you recommendations that are further and further away from what you like
Ah shit, I didn't think of that dammit now I gotta figure out how to save my lists somewhere else ugh
Setup another Spotify account, then share your dw playlist with it, and have that account save the songs over there. Just an idea
Same here, usually I get at least 1 or 2 songs I like from each week but lately it's garbage meme songs or songs that I find annoying to listen to. My genres are everywhere too, pretty much everything except country music.
