I think the most amazing mistake Spotify made was that recently all private playlists suddenly became public, because they changed the meaning of private and public to introduce some weird third level of privacy. I now have no idea what the privacy settings do.
Second most amazing was when they made the scrollbar literally two pixels wide and therefore unusable.
It’s not even that these are huge errors but it just makes you wonder who drove those change and why? What on Earth are their teams up to when they’re prioritising those kinds of changes?
- EastSmith 4y agoWTF? I just checked all my private playlist are now public! WTF Spotify?!?
- silveroriole 4y agoThey say that “public” means what “private” used to mean, “added to profile” means what “public” used to mean, and “private” now means that people can’t see the playlist at all even if they have a link to it. But it’s completely unclear which setting controls whether someone can search for the playlist by name and find it. I found out about this public/private change because I somehow got a subscriber to a playlist I’d thought was completely private, so I’m sure the previously private playlists actually did become more public without my permission…
- puszczyk 4y agoWTF!!! Same here, the playlists are now public
- mikhael28 4y agoThey probably made a good chunk selling your now public playlist music preferences to advertisers.
- mikhael28 4y agoIt's so they could sell your music preferences. You got got.
- joshl32532 4y agoDamn, I just noticed all my playlists are public too. Thanks for the heads up. And screw Spotify!
