alt Hacker NewsSpotify has always been garbage software long before LLMs. PM/devs like to justify their constant a/b testing to gamify metrics to curry raises/promotions but for end users all we're dealt with is a constantly broken/changing UI.
My biggest peeve with Spotify UI is how hard it is to add something to your current playing queue, an action I would assume is quite common but you have to scroll down to hit several controls before you can do it.

Sounds like they have the same problem all software companies have as soon as the MBAs took over.
Metrics, not for the purpose of making the software better, but to justify someone's existence in the company.
Don't you just swipe right on a song to add it to the queue?
Keep doing. Hearing people complain about streaming software, when they could be playing their sounds locally with free software, makes my day every day.
Three dots next to the song title, menu opens, "Add to Queue", done.
Not to mention that, if there is a queue, clicking Play on an album will play only the first track and add the rest of the tracks to the bottom of the queue. Did the PM honestly think listeners wanted that?
