    Spotify has always been a pain in the ass. For the longest time you couldn’t listen to a single song someone shared because they forced you to create an account.

    Companies that force you to create an account to do the simplest action are assholes.

      I don’t know why I feel like this is okay for Spotify to do but not YouTube.

      My thinking is clearly flawed

        Yup, either require an account to use the service, or don’t. Don’t do some weird middleground. It totally makes sense for saving playlists or whatever.

      OOT but Instagram does this and IT SUCKS

      Worse, they don’t even show you properly like “Sign In to visit this account”, they just says the error message “Please try again”. I thought there was something wrong with my Firefox or adblockers… But, nope it’s like that in other browsers IIRC
