I probably wouldn't care about it too much if they didn't mess up the rest of their apps into the dogturd that they currently are. Doing bad UX is one thing, making UX consistently worse with pretty much every update another. And that's what Spotify has been doing for years now - if I could go back to a client-version from a few years ago, I would, immediately, without thinking twice.
The fun part? My company jumped on the SAFe-train a while ago, and Spotify was heralded as the "prime example" of where agile and all that works out really well.
I have no idea what they are doing, but whatever it is - if they continue like this, I'll go back to pirating music, because they're getting really close to having just-as-bad of an experience as that. And I really don't mind paying 20 bucks for my family account; experience is all I care about.
