I've already written about how the new Spotify messaging feature might be weird — but now that I've had the chance to give it a try, I am even further mystified. Who asked for this? Who's actually going to use it? Why can't I just keep using one of the hundreds of other messaging apps installed on my poor phone?
It's another notch in my piece of wood labeled "Spotify's feature bloat," something that's already been notched far too much. But where some of the features Spotify releases at least feel useful, this latest one reeks of a weird desperation.
