Seriously, fuck Spotify and anyone else using that error-prone, intrusive, insecure bullshit.

I use it a lot, and have been for 10 years or so. I have never had any sort of error. It has simply always worked exactly like it's supposed to.

I don't know anything about it being intrusive or insecure, and definately need a source on that, but it's possible those criticisms are valid, but again, need a damn source. As is, the person you commented on has lost all cridibilty, so I'm inclined to err on the side of caution, and assume they don't know what they're talking about.

When people get mad they get hyperbolic sometimes. Might be the case here. Same with not having it error on me as well. That said, fuck their CEO, they lost a sub from me after I heard about the drone investment.

You can say a lot of Spotify and of Apple, but the iOS app of Spotify is basically bug free and has been bug free for more than a decade now for me. The webclient has been buggy for me though.
