So Spotify recently changed from a green heart and a block song button to and + and a - for liking and disliking. What is your opinion?
My personal preference would be to bring back the green heart and make a deep red broken heart.
And I know spotify is proprietary yada yada I don't care for music streaming. So pls don't let it be a part of the discussion.
To reference this is an old screenshot I found on the internet.
My experience has been that the "-" was exactly the same as a skip. Spotify still plays those songs and even if I've gone to the artist or group and selected "don't play this artist" they'll still come up. So this redesign seems more honest, in that you don't like the song but they'll still play it.
You get used to it, it has been like this on iOS for quite a while already.

I'm a person that likes it when the UI is switched up a bit every now and then to bring some fresh air to an old app.
This case I absolutely don't care.
I used to agree wholeheartedly, but I'm the last 3-5 years I've come to absolutely dread UI changes. I can't think of a website or service that I use that's gotten better. They (reddit, youtube, facebook or whatever) take away functions and make it easier to herd users the way they want them.
I prefer it this way. I like the function of the double tap open up a prompt to choose a playlist, feels more convenient. As for the heart vs plus button, i like the symbology of the plus button more, but that's personal preference.
A flaw that I heard many times in this teard is that it looks like a volume button
I can see that. Not something that crossed my mind first time I saw it, but makes senses
Good thing I don't use Spotify.
Get your downvotes ready.
Eh, neither of your screenshot shows what you are talking about, tbh.
I don't use Spotify anymore, because paying means less quality for me. But at first I thought this was a joke, because I couldn't find the dislike (not that it ever did sth in Spotify)
Same opinion for all of Spotify: it's shit
