  I wish they had a true shuffle 😔

    I wish they’d bring the ‘Dislike’ button back. 😔

      I wish they brought manually selecting songs back to the free version. 😔

      Yeah, they have all this money and the algorithms are getting more stupid. I hate it when saying “play Travis” (I use voice commands in car) always plays the exact same playlist in the exact same order. They also push the most popular songs on you so if a band you like did a shitty Barbie cover you will hear it all the time. And there’s no dislike button to get rid of it. On my phone I just play custom playlists because the algorithms suck so much.

      I wish removing a song from my Discover weekly or similar lists actually worked. I swear I remove the same song from that playlist for months and it still shows up.

      There is one if you use the discovery features. Well, it’s not a dislike, but I think it does the same thing, maybe?

    Why?

      Because my playlist has thousands of songs yet I hear the same ones a lot, their algorithm weights songs it thinks you like to be more common in the shuffle

  My Spotify playlist with songs I want to check out is so long that the app breaks for several minutes when I start it up with that playlist 😅
