      I don’t think it’s making fun of anything in particular. This guy’s whole deal is coming up with fake features for apps that would be incredibly annoying.

        Ooh I see. I actually thought I’d prefer this over ads so I was mildly confused. Thank you for explaining :)

      I wonder if it’s based on the trope where guys would start asking stupid gatekeeping questions when they saw girls wearing popular band t-shirts; e.g. “Oh you like Guns-an-Roses? Name five of their albums.”

      ~I’m guessing.~

        “Oh you like Guns-an-Roses? Name five of their albums.”

        Did they make five famous albums? Appetite for destruction and… ?

        (EDIT : Chinese democracy doesn’t count)

          😂 I actually never thought of it. Um…

          1. Appetite for Destruction
          2. Use Your Illusion I
          3. Use Your Illusion II
          4. The Spaghetti Incident (my personal fave)
          5. Lies

          Whew! 😅

            I guess they made five non Chinese democracy albums, I dunno if the last 2 are famous though.

    Listen, Tidal and Qobuz exist. Why still support fascist software like Spotify?

      I’m testing Qobuz and it’s ehh. I transferred my data from apple music all excited thinking it’d be a better experience, and a good chunk of what I’ve listened on am isn’t available, which is a bummer, but then like… deep sigh why the fuck do I have to manually dig through their catalog for shit that I like and listen to it for an unknown amount of time for it to ‘learn’ what I like? You literally have my entire last.fm data going back almost 2 decades. You should have been able to immediately give me recommendations and create a playlist/radio/whatever the fuck you want to call it. But no, so I’ve spent like 5 days listening to stuff and it’s still saying ‘keep listening’ like my guy (qobuz), I want to punch you in the face. This is easy shit. Figure it thd fuck out.

      And WHY did soundiiz bring over random shit that I think I’ve heard once or twice, but quboz lists it (albums) as favorites. And I have no songs in said albums marked as favorite. What the fuck are you guys even doing?

      Sorry, uh, what were we talking about?
