    Spotify is a prime example of this. There are so many “features” I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn’t even work.

    Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.

    Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.

        they may be referring to how spotify’s shuffle isn’t a true “shuffle” in that it is biased to things you have listened to more, recently, etc

          That’s been the case for well over a decade going back to some of the earliest iPods. It’s nothing new.

        Are you talking about that thing where it plays the same exact music usually in the same exact order every time you start a new session

          I think they’re talking about the feature they seem to push hardcore that tries to guess what you want to hear, and then injects it into your playlist

            Hm. I’ve never had an issue with just turning that off honestly.
