Spotify is missing user profiles, in the Netflix fashion.
- dominotw 4y agospotify is usually on people's personal device like a phone not on communal device at home like a TV.
- txtsd 4y agoSpeak for yourself. I use Spotify on my TV at home. Multiple people use it.
- dominotw 4y agorude response. i said 'usually' .
- dotancohen 4y agoIt should be noted that in a Tesla, changing the Driver Profile (stores settings like seat and mirror positions) also changes the logged in Spotify account.
- mjmj 4y agoI would consider Alexa a communal device. Spotify is heavily used there in households. Source: worked on Alexa.
- fersarr 4y agoPeople use it to play white noise for their babies which makes all the future song recommendations useless
- lionelw 4y agoFor young kids with no personal devices of their own, they would only get Spotify from their parents' devices.
- PurpleRamen 4y agoFrom a technical point yes, but profiles are too rough and hard to use for this. What I mean is more some way to automatically maintain a kind of sub-profile, for each different aspect of a user, but exposed user-friendly and effortless. Most people won't maintain a separate user profile just for recommendations, as it's too much work for too little benefit.
