It does seem like the ideology of those inside google went from "tech" , to "I know better than you do". Not sure it's fixable really..
73 0 ReplyThat's the problem with most tech these days. They assume they know the best way to do something or know better than you. Its infuriating
17 0 ReplySpotify is a prime example of this. There are so many "features" I hate and that no one has asked for, yet shuffle doesn't even work.
Everytime I start spotify in ny office after listening on my commute, it tries to start playing on my phone since that was playing in my car.
Or when I was still there, Reddit search. Absolutely useless and so fucking smarmy with that stupid doge.
14 0 ReplyWhat do you mean by "shuffle doesn't even work"? Please qualify that statement.
3 0 Replythey may be referring to how spotify's shuffle isn't a true "shuffle" in that it is biased to things you have listened to more, recently, etc
7 0 ReplyThat's been the case for well over a decade going back to some of the earliest iPods. It's nothing new.

They know how to manipulate you to do/buy stuff you weren't looking for. That's what makes a profit.
It has always been this way (also in tech) because those things are the products of companies (main goal: profit, usually under a sneaky slogan), but it is becoming increasingly invasive. Don't be evil: think different.
2 0 ReplyYeah, tech people nowadays have this attitude with most people, they only show some restraint when they think it's for other people like them.
1 0 ReplyThe problem with tech is managers are wearing engineer coats and calling the shots with no true credentials.
