The recommendations never really clicked for me. When I do try to use the webapp I get loads of suggestions I cannot dislike or block at all. Apparently this functionality is no longer available in the webapp. I suppose this is supposed to make me want to run their bloated app or upgrade to premium.
They have a feedback forum where other users are reporting the same problems. The staff politely rationalizes the horrible UX and offers irrelevant boilerplate responses.
Occasionally, the site will tell me that a podcast is not available in "your region". What is my region? Am I the reigning monarch? Do I personally own this country? Or is it that we are all serfs tied to the land which webservices geotarget us to?
The videos never play, but the webapp does interrupt podcasts halfway through to create a paused video UI.
Then there are the typical wrong language content choices being shoveled into my recommendations. No, the UX isn't worthwhile. It does inspire an occasional rant. If I just want to listen to a song, why autoplay something totally unrelated next? And I cannot dislike it? Terrible, very bad to horrible.
