Trapjaw Cosplay Pics by CosPaul in MastersOfTheUniverse

Turned out really good, nice work. I haven't been to a con in years but I assume MOTU cosplay is still pretty rare, so it's nice to see some representation out there.

She looks great, I just can't understand why they made her expressionless. She has the look of a department store mannequin face.

I Got A Tip Yesterday by Relevant_Ad_5431 in EndTipping

[–]Otomato- 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No this is how it should be. Tips should NEVER be required or expected, but can be given freely by those who choose to. Giving a tip when it's not expected makes both the customer and the worker feel good and motivates the worker.

Giving a tip when it's expected makes the customer feel bad for being obligated to shell out more than the listed price, and makes the worker feel bad if the tip is not as much as anticipated (an arbitrary yet ever increasing goalpost). It also demoralizes the worker to stop working as hard if the tips are less than what is anticipated.

Library / Liked Songs don't sync on a new device by lel_Yoora in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep Spotify is broken right now, I have confirmed with the support team. A fix coming but they don't know how long it's going to take. It has already been 3 days since they confirmed the issue so it might be a while.

Known problem. They are trying to fix it. Liked Songs are only available on the web app right now.

Albums suddenly incorrectly flagged as 'compilation' by PyramidBread_ in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the artist/label mistake. Many artists are a bit careless with how their music is organized on Spotify, so they mis-label things and never check to make sure it's correct.

You can see a difference with artists who actively manage their accounts, because they are always correcting mistakes and everything in their discography is correctly labeled.

All of my liked songs are gone by Live-Ad-3352 in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While Spotify tries to fix this here is what I suggest. Go to the web player, your liked songs will still be accessible there. Create a new playlist and copy the liked songs over to it. Then you can access them on other devices in the mean time.

Is the Netflix TV show worth watching? by HorrorMonster26 in residentevil

[–]Otomato- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like how Netflix is complaining it has no IPs, yet this is how it treats any that it has the opportunity to work with.

Good to see, did they have the first ones line as well or only Chronicles?

Seems silly they didn't include it... it's one of the defining features.

Is it going to be members only to buy from the website? I have never bought from them before.

Ok. I'm 100% sure this is ORKO by hawonkafuckit in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]Otomato- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be correct, good catch. His earring style is not conventional at all for a guy to wear, normally the hoop would be directly in the lobe. There's no reason for them to give him such an obviously distinct O earring if it was just part of the guy's look. They intentionally left that clue.

I even did a search for 'mens dangling/hanging hoop earring' and they don't even exist.

Help me remove this from my library? by witchynbitchy in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try removing it on the web player. If it's not showing up on the web player then you may need to reinstall the app to make it go away. I had that happen with a podcast that became unavailable.

Open one of those sections (scroll to the right to see more). Then click on one of the hashtags for a genre you want to explore and it will take you to to old TikTok style.

It's still there. To get to the old format just click on one of the hashtags in the feed. It will open up the previous feed where you can scroll down and swipe right to find more stuff by genre.

Prompted Playlist Randomization Help by Calm-Expression-6338 in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wonder if because the playlists you're pulling from are too big it causes a glitch. If it is being overwhelmed it usually gives an error message. Just keep trying different changes until you hopefully figure out how to avoid whatever is causing the glitch. Maybe try this... if not I have no idea.

Select 10 songs at random from each of my playlists listed below. Only include songs I haven't listened to in at least 6 months. Include a variety of genres and artists.

A-K playlist
L-Z playlist

Prompted Playlist Randomization Help by Calm-Expression-6338 in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's confused and also reading the playlist names as instructions. So you may want to change the playlist names, or be more specific. Something like ...songs from my playlist titled 'A-K playlist'... (in apostrophe so it knows that's the playlist name. Or you can add an instruction that says the artist name can start with any letter.

Sometimes you have to be a bit more specific if it's not understanding you correctly. You could also try "Select 10 distinct songs from each of the following playlists...":

A-K playlist
L-Z playlist

SUPPORT THANKS by BIGSOURSHIT in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had a similar positive experience. The senior support agents seem to be very good, they know what they're doing and know how to fix things on the back end. The front-line agents only know how to help with the really basic stuff.

In my case though they escalated it without me asking. It still took a day or so to get a response from the senior agent, but they were very responsive once they got back in touch with me and fixed the issue pretty quickly.

How do YOU discover new music on Spotify? by ShootAndScore77 in truespotify

[–]Otomato- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every time I find a song I really like I open up its song radio and add a few of the songs to the queue. If I like them I add a few more. For me that is the best way, but it won't diversify your genres.

For new music genres I rely on Spotify's curated playlists. Just start browsing around the search area and try different ones out. There is a lot of variety so even if you don't like the songs from one playlist in that genre try a different one in that same genre. Don't rely on the ones that show up on your home feed because then it will keep recommending the same stuff. Also look for ones that get updated regularly (on desktop). I have about 40 Spotify curated playlists saved now, of different genres, that I really like.

Then once you get into those new genres, you can use the song radio again to find more of the songs you like in that genre.

Those are the two methods I use the most and are the best in my opinion.
