The company’s only hardware product will soon be e-waste.
Are they serious? What a slap in the face to people that bought it.

They are just giving more arguments for piracy.

I’m still salty about Spotify quietly removing support for my Pioneer head unit (along with others) shortly after the Car Thing came out. Luckily I took the hint and cancelled my subscription and haven’t looked back.

#supportOrOpensource should be a thing. Either you support the damn thing or you opensource it. Doesn’t have to be XOR. Simply turning it into e-waste should not be allowed.

Been using Deezer(competitor to Spotify) for about 6 months now. Love the hifi audio. All my songs/playlists were moved over pretty effortlessly.
Fuck Spotify.

spotify is a terrible company. at this point i feel like they have brand hostages rather than brand loyalty. i dont know anybody whos actually happy with the spotify experience any more.

It was really hard to pull off the bandage but I finally did it. It was really death by 1000 cuts but the last one for me was when they started injecting ads (not the baked-in ads, mind you) into podcasts. Apparently paying for Spotify to remove ads to them only meant removing ads from the music. To insult their users like that was enough for me.

I believe ads in podcasts are the doing of the folks making the podcast, not spotify.
