What are we talking about here - Spotify or Shopify ? If Shopify - and you are concerned about their engineering teams, please consider that Shopify's revenue grew from roughly $205 million in 2015 to $11.56 billion in 2025, reflecting an explosive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 45% across the past decade. Market validates ! I have nothing to add about Spotify - I use it to listen to music and it works well for me !

Shopify works well for me but it used to push nonsense like podcasts or audio books that I had no interest in, with no way for me to hide them. I just want to listen to music. Upon looking just now, seems like they have been relegated to their own tabs now, which is great.

  I can’t tell if we’re trolling at this point with the mixing up of Shopify and Spotify

    Poor reading comprehension is more likely than trolling.

      Or I just made a typo. I dont think anyone actually has the understanding that Shopify is a music streaming service and Spotify is a shopping plug-in. I was addressing the latter half of gp's comment which was saying that Spotify has had no problems and I wrote (or perhaps got autocorrected, as I had to correct my phone several times writing this comment). I cant speak for the rest of the commenters.

    It's accidental. This mixup is essentially a meme at Shopify this point.

      When I did some consulting for an e-commerce company that used Shopify, I had a Colombian coworker who kept confusing Shopify and Spotify which was contagious across our company but we always knew what we were referencing because we dont use Spotify to start an e-commerce page. Similarly, we've had confusion with AWS Amplify and Amplitude (metrics service).

    I thought we were talking about Sportifei - the new outdoors retailer ?
