Two things that make me quite dislike Spotify (as a real actual human ;) is their attempt to monopolize and exclusive-ize podcasts, which I treasure as an open medium, and that they pay less money back to artists (I believe).
Perhaps it's my personal bias stemming from what I believe to be legitmate gripes with Spotify, but I feel like perhaps they get more negative coverage because they do negative things.
- jwells89 3y agoThe way their apps are pushy about whatever tangentially-related audio product they’re decided to burn money on this month also isn’t great. If that stuff really has to be part of the main app, it should be sequestered to its own tab and not be seen unless sought out.
- cglong 3y agoI think I read that the "pays less" thing was FUD, but am unable to find it now. Will share if I can dig it up later :) Re podcasts: Very true, I didn't like that push either. FWIW, Spotify recently agreed to let Joe Rogan's podcast be distributed on multiple platforms again.
