  And no “AI” was involved…

  I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.

  I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

    Tidal is pretty good except for the lack of podcasts. AntennaPod replaced that feature for me and made the switch easy.

      How’s the music and recommendations?

      For example, does it have a really niche artist I listen to?

      What the fuck it does

      What about recommendations? I have yet to try it though, but it has the music of an artist with less than like 600 views per track that’s crazy

      Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

  Programmatic advertising should be forbidden on state level. It is a vector in malvertising and misinformation (and thus is a danger to demcracies) and makes the user-experience worse in everything it touches.

    malvertising and misinformation

    You pretty much described most ads. What is the difference?

      That your “most ads” are programmatic advertising.

    Plexamp is fantastic. Sweetfades and radio/mix features, which can also include songs from shared libraries, are dope as hell. One of my favorite audio players of all time. Bridges the gap between old school local library playback and modern algorithm stuff really well.

    I’ve been using bandcamp and normal music playing apps. Always hated Spotify.
