I really thought TechCrunch was getting better, but man this is bad journalism. It's like a hit piece in a high school newspaper.
- wyager 9y agoTo be fair, the UX is a mess. The mobile experience is horrible and always tries to drag you to the app (which is not great), and SC is constantly trying to push the "social" aspect. I can't filter out "shares" or whatever from my feed, which means instead of listening to the artists I like, I end up listening to a bunch of random crap they share.
