Ek said Spotify employees were doing too much “work around the work” as he laid off 17% of the group’s workforce in December.

Once Spotify changed their entire UI to focus on engagement instead of a good UX, I switched to another service. I wish the best for those employees that were laid off, and the worst for a CEO driven by profit above all else
May I ask what service you switched to? I’m tired of my music app being cluttered with podcasts and audio books. I use other services for this things and don’t need them in Spotify.
I switched to tidal. Recently had a huge price drop to compete with Spotify and Apple Music. It’s not perfect, but it has lossless audio, and works well for my needs
I started using Tidal when I learned they where the ones who pay the artists the most. I don’t know if it’s still true today tho.
Yeah that was part of my motivation as well. I’m unsure how that will change now with their significant price drop, I was happy paying the previous prices, as it was like the cost of buying 3 $10 CDs a month, and I listened to considerably more music than that
Does tidal have the feature Spotify does where you can transfer what’s playing from one device to another? I use that somewhat frequently.
Yeah you can do the same thing as Spotify and change the output on the fly within the app
Thanks!
I use Deezer. It also has podcasts but they don’t shove it up your face, in fact I just checked and I don’t even see them on the app’s home screen. I have to specifically search for them.
I use Deezer too. The only thing I miss is being able to bookmark my favorite radio stations. It’s so weird that we don’t have that yet!
Qbittorrent LMAO. Also some Russian music hosting sites that appear as quickly as they get taken down.
Newpipe for when I don’t need 320kbps, such as podcasts.
