I dread the interface of Spotify. What do they employ massive numbers of UX people for? Nothing regarding Spotify's interface is any better than 2012. Cards, auto-play TikTok'ified video bullshit, weird navigation of menus and playlists, hidden core functionalities, lack of customization, funneling of user flows into garbage marketing content...
It's like they are sitting in a lab and professionally try to find out how to annoy people and make their lives harder.
In the end, I understand that they need to bullshit their way out of shareholder expectations but it's sad to see the enshitification of Spotify over the years. Let's see how long it takes them to nuke account sharing like Netflix and now Disney.
