Dear spotify product manager

Here are some features that I’d like to see in your app.

If you add them all, I promise that I’ll triple my payments to spotify!

Pay artists less

Please pay artists even less than you already do. Even better: Pay them nothing.

They’re only using spotify for exposure anyway.

Add more shuffle modes

I would like to cycle through lots of different modes when I want to turn off shuffle. Maybe you could add “mood shuffle”, “seasonal shuffle” and “ai shuffle”.

Even better if they require an internet connection, so that it’s impossible to cycle through when I have low connection!

Even better if they pop up a toast, so that I can’t tap the controls!

If you add all of these features, I promise to triple my payments to spotify ✋

If you have to put them behind an additional paywall, that’s fine. Call it “Spotify: Packed Mode” or something.

If you release these features more widely, I’ll just buy two extra subscriptions (to keep my side of the deal).

Many thanks,
Yours sincerely,
