        which I hate… especially the “shorts”…

        tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control… I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)… but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.

        People be like “parent’s should take responsibility for their kids”… I’m like “mf, I’m trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media” And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it’s not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.

    People will use every one of these horrendous messaging subapps but scoff at the idea of downloading signal or even whatsapp.

      what alternative did you end up going with?

      I had a script to convert my main Spotify playlist (5000+ songs) to download from soulseek but…yeah that would take a VERY long time and I really didn’t feel like being a soulseek asshole going that route.

      If there was something out there where I can take my spotify playlist and just convert it and use it on another/better platform I’d switch right now.

    When you see things like this remember that you’re paying for this. Stuff like this is why the price has gone up again.

    They had a good thing near perfect but they kept adding useless features and bloating the app and price. I need to cancel this shit but my grandma loves it.
