What are we talking about here - Spotify or Shopify ?

If Shopify - and you are concerned about their engineering teams, please consider that Shopify's revenue grew from roughly $205 million in 2015 to $11.56 billion in 2025, reflecting an explosive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 45% across the past decade. Market validates !

I have nothing to add about Spotify - I use it to listen to music and it works well for me !

Both. The post is about Shopify, but some of the comments expanded the conversation to include Spotify as well.

Shopify works well for me but it used to push nonsense like podcasts or audio books that I had no interest in, with no way for me to hide them. I just want to listen to music.

Upon looking just now, seems like they have been relegated to their own tabs now, which is great.
