Lars Wikman (OLD, find new)Spotify tried something again.
Suddenly my shuffle was Smart Shuffle (TM) and injected songs not in my playlist, into my playlist playback queue.
They really want me to stop paying them.

@lawik that sounds like enshittification to me! Although maybe I shouldn’t be one to talk since I use Pandora and hence don’t have direct control over what they play for me 😂
Although it seems like most development on Pandora has ceased which is fine for me since I really like the way it works right now.
@axelson but that was always the point of Pandora right?
I think this is very much enshittification and the social media playbook. "Welp, podcasts didn't really pan out. Here, get hooked on new music for us."
What I choose to do and my intent are a low priority.
@lawik yeah that is the point of Pandora. It’s more like a traditional radio. Which is what I like because then I don’t have to think about what songs I want to listen to. Instead I just decide they type of music (or mood) I’m aiming for.
@axelson product with opinion. Wild! I like that. Not sure that particular one is for me and thats fine :)
