Many years ago I realised #Spotify 's shuffle is shit. I found a thread about it on the spotify forum that was posted in January 2020
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Implemented-Ideas/All-Platforms-Option-to-have-a-true-shuffle/idi-p/4880594
January 2020 ROTFLMAO
I soon realised that Spotify didn't give a shit, and I closed my account. What I've been hearing about Spotify and Daniel Ek in recent years has only shown me that I was right to do so.
I'm not going to suggest alternatives to Spotify. Suffice to say there are many, and there are many tools to help you move your play lists to a new home. I found one that suits me. You may find a different one. But they are all good.
The only thing I have kept is my subscription to this single thread on their forum. Call it morbid curiosity.
And there are people arriving in that thread TODAY, seeing its 225 pages of comments and apparently thinking that if they add their ZOMGPRETTYPLEASEFORTOFIXTHISWITHSUGARONTOP... Spotify will somehow get the finger out and implement something as trivial as "randomize playlist".
No, they won't. Spotify and Daniel Ek don't give a flying fuck. And why should they? 225 pages prove that most of their customers are still too afraid to vote with their feet.
Don't be. The grass really is greener on the other side of the Spotify fence.
