i’m sad that no social platform has ever made the act of sharing music fun

Never understood why sharing and community not emphasized in Spotify. Nothing is better social compatibility measure than music taste.

Moderate-to-severe symptoms.

Not so sure. I would love to know what "people with my taste" are listening to, and maybe connect with them. Creating communities of vibes would give more reason to listen and say, buy concert tickets.

Spotify is for passive listening, community volume would need to be enormous to truly provide value for artists via streams — it would need to evolve as another source of income for artists not tied to streams.

From my perspective, it needs to be an outlier that creates the solution(s)

The problem is using to sell music, not the right model.

Spotify tried many sharing & community experiments in their Echo Nest & API era; lots of experiments were released on the desktop app

My guess is that the UI, infrastructure, and moderation necessary to support social features are not aligned with Spotify’s ongoing subscriber retention & monetization strategies
