What is your opinion on the new like and dislike button in Spotify? - eviltoast

So Spotify recently changed from a green heart and a block song button to and + and a - for liking and disliking. What is your opinion?

My personal preference would be to bring back the green heart and make a deep red broken heart.

And I know spotify is proprietary yada yada I don’t care for music streaming. So pls don’t let it be a part of the discussion.

To reference this is an old screenshot I found on the internet.

    Eh, kind of. It’s not nearly as customizable as Slacker was. With Slacker I could say I want mostly artists I have selected, but play some new artists, and play the deep cuts instead of the popular songs. You could ban artists from a station or add ones you liked to build it out. And, I think this is most important, all your likes/dislikes/whatever only applied to the current station. I’m tired of YouTube Music playing death metal when I play Blind Guardian radio just because I also listen to death metal.

    It kind of lives on in Liveone, who bought Slacker, but their whole app is a mess and they have a very limited library compared to the other streaming services.
