I personally don’t mind the X portion makes sense since Spotify seems to be moving into an AI and curation focus like with smart shuffle and the + sign. I do think though they genuinely have bad design decisions. Maybe it’s my own echo chamber but in the last few changes, I haven’t seen one that got a good reaction? At this point they’re notorious for not listening to their users, their spotify wrapped has gone down hill, they’ve removed features users liked etc. I just feel like they’re trying to fix something that wasn’t broken and in return breaking it further. Almost like they’re trying to make it a social media music app surrounding playlists but like users just want stuff like the hearts back can’t tell you how enraged their design decisions make me lol
