The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore. - eviltoast

EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn’t work with anything. It’s mildly infuriating because today, I can’t still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don’t make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

    Don’t know why you’re being downvoted - enshittification as a viable consumer business model was pretty much proven in the auto space.

    Just like they want to charge you to use the heated seats you’re paying the gas to lug around anyway

      That’s not the same thing at all. As bad as e.g. Sirius or GPS subscription might be, at least with those the subscription is for ongoing access to new data being transmitted to you. In contrast, a subscription purely for the use of hardware already included in the car is literally theft.
