    Yeah, but fucking why? Like… I know companies like fucking over consumers. But why? What benefit do they get from this? Is it a control thing? Is making things more difficult for consumers just a fetish or something?

      Presumably because, by making the Spotify experience feel worse, it increases the chance that people will switch to Apple Music instead

        I didn’t even know people still used Apple Music to be perfectly honest. At least everyone I know. Kinda forgot it was even a thing.
