Wassup I first 😂😂😂😂mf 😊
Do you like the new design of the Spotify app?
First
Everyone in big tech wants to be tt now.
Actually brilliant. The U.S. government will ban TikTok soon.
New design, where and when. Mine still looks the same
That’s not a bad idea since Google and Facebook (and Instagram already had a similar format) have already copied TikTok. The only thing I’d worry about is how hard the Google/Facebook camp sensor a lot of stuff. Let’s see what Spotify does!
Dude at the bottom left just chilling.
i really wanted hi-fi to launch too:( The fact that there is no dolby atmos support or any kind of lossless support is really steering me towards apple music 🙁
Smh.…… spotify is my favorite app BECAUSE, it doesn’t have those time wasting, algorithm managed features. I can just look up things I’m interested in and listen to it in an in-depth, long form. If they turn to tick-tok I’m canceling my subscription.
Best feature of TikTok is not the video, it’s the AUDIO.
It’s a further enshittification of the platform, because music isn’t profitable enough for spotify.

Anyone know what the outro song is?
It feels like Spotify’s AI algorithms hit a plateau like 7 years ago and they’ve been tacking things onto the platform that are just reskinned versions of the radio feature (eg. DJ).
I think it makes sense to TikTok-ify songs by playing the hook without having listeners wait for it or making music producers add the hook at the beginning, but I doubt that it is implemented better than what any novice developer with the Spotify API can make in a weekend.
MAKE ANOTHER CHANNEL
Refuse to use Spotify they rip off songwriters and musicians. So Spotify change everything up every week and just fade away.
I thought Richard Lawlers’ screen was frozen throughout this video until I skipped back and saw he actually moved.
I hope whoever led the redesign of The Verge website is taking diligent notes.
The problem with tictok is that they are easy to copy.
It’s SO weird to not listen to you guys at 2x.
I’m glad that I’m an Apple Music user.
I’m so opportuned irrespective of the economic crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $33,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10days 🗽
