Spotify has updated the desktop app with plenty of visual improvements and new features, like a “now playing” view that gives you immediate access to merchandise and tour dates.
It gets worse every update
Spotify is peak change for the sake of change. They like tinkering with the UI for no discernible reason.
Fidgety corporate ADHD. Constantly breaking things that used to work and now they don’t, all across the extended ecosystem (such as Alexa). Some assholes trying to justify their salary as the clueless and mesmerized suits go along with it, this is “metrics” anti-culture they’ve created. High-fiving themselves and giving themselves bonuses, for making things palpably enshittified.
It also sounds kinda like Lucas with the Original Trilogy.
