Agree, the problem in regards to spotify is that for a while spotify required facebook for new accounts.
The disconnect that led to that decision is absolutely mind blowing. To make it even more surreal lots of people, even on HN, defended it.
- mulmen 8y agoYeah I just didn’t use Spotify until I could sign up with email. It kind of surprised me they were able to gain as much traction as they did with what I viewed as a user-hostile action right at signup.
- carlivar 8y agoSpotify activity in the early days was super prominent in the Facebook activity feed and that weird mini feed they used to have. So I think they probably got more new customers from that angle as they might have lost from the login limitation.
