There are fans of Spotify?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's their silly little way of saying conned subscription holders.

I could tell Spotify was trash when I first heard about it. That Spotify decided to enshitify their already bad site makes it even worse.

I'm just as mystified as you.

The only time I interact with the service is when I'm sent a link to a cool band/song and I wind up on the site. "Oh, this again." I really have zero concept of fandom for something like this.
