A redesigned home feed announced in August offered music fans some respite from those podcasts, and it seemed Spotify had listened to the complaints from music fans. I don’t begrudge Spotify broadening its operations beyond music, but don’t do it on my time, and don’t do it on my dime. However, it’s another annoyance, and the latest barrier to music that has me ever-flirting with leaving Spotify for good. Yes, I could dismiss today’s audiobooks notifications and hear no more of it, for now. I’d rather it be spent on securing the MIA Hi-Fi music option it has been promising for well over a year now. That’s beyond the $16 a month I pay for the family plan that has more recently been contributing to Joe Rogan‘s Covid misinformation streams, and Meghan Markle’s bank balance.Įven today, Spotify is announcing that subscribers’ cash is being spent on services that can detect the harmful content and misinformation loitering within its podcasts. The ad informed me that I could explore 300,0000 titles, find one I wanted to listen to, and tap the play button for information about how I can buy it. Because Spotify is my music app, you see.

“Want to listen to Audiobooks on Spotify?” read the notification I received on Wednesday. Now the company is spamming users with notifications when they open the app seeking unfiltered access to the tunes they pay for. Late last month Spotify announced it was further diluting its singular, very cluttered app with the addition of audiobooks. The music app we loved is dead and it’s not coming back. Now it’s spamming users with audiobook ads.

OPINION: Spotify was pushing it with podcasts.
