Same here. There was a Spotify dev on twitter who was saying that Spotify only hires the best and that's why they are so successful. Very arrogant. But like ok

Same here. There was a Spotify dev on twitter who was saying that Spotify only hires the best and that's why they are so successful. Very arrogant. But like okay, if you are so great why can I only watch at 1x playback speed for video? I'm just not willing to watch at that rate. The other thing was clips of Rogan on YouTube showed me if I wanted to watch the full thing. Spotify doesn't really offer that in the same way at least. It's a big downgrade from YT over some UX and features that aren't that hard to create

> But like okay, if you are so great why can I only watch at 1x playback speed for video? Maybe they updated this recently since you last tried, but you can most certainly change the playback speed for podcast videos (0.5x–3.5x). I just did it. Of course, the UX could definitely be improved in other ways, such as providing a more organized & easily filterable feed rather than a somewhat random assortment of 'Your shows' and 'Episodes for you'.

    That is a 2-3 year old link. It's not valid. Speed adjustment is available for video podcasts on spotify desktop. I just tried it directly on a rogan podcast, and can use it on both linux and windows desktop.

      It doesn't support it in the web player which is how I use it. I hate downloading apps on the desktop.

  They must have updated it recently because the Convo I had with him was a few months back. He just went on and on about how no one wants the feature etc. Glad they have it now.

  Actually I double checked this. The web player (which is how I use Spotify) STILL does not support more than 1x video playback. So I guess my original point still holds true. Spotify with all their "genius" engineers still don't have the basic functionality you would expect.
