Same energy as YouTube putting background play behind a paywall.

Simply anti-consumer.

Or rather, salami-slicing away functionality that used to be free

That's why I use innertune on my android phone

Jokes on them, I transitioned to listening to same song for the next 6-7years.

Spotify plays always the same songs after a while anyways. There is still no real shuffle in fucking 2024!

No-one on this thread has used the word "enshittification" yet, so first, I guess.

meanwhile I've quietly moved to slef-hosting and physical media.

Most of the time there is no lyrics ,or it is simply broken

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 6 months ago

They started this move almost a year ago. It has broken lyrics on many songs even if you pay for premium service.

I moved to Tidal after watching this video about a month ago, haven't looked back, can still use Spotify ad free when it comes to podcasts, win win!

[–] otterpop@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I don't know if the video calls it out but Tidal also integrates into Plex, which is amazing

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Most of the stuff I listen to never had lyrics support or had incorrect lyrics anyway.
