It’s not on Android because they couldn’t do it without collecting some info. Seems like mobile-first web site would have been the obvious choice.

Reminds me of when ads broke me of my habit of watching hours of television every night. I could totally get behind paying for 3 sites and ignoring the rest of the internet at some point.

It’s not exactly “slop” if people are listening to it and presumably enjoying it.

I don’t agree with the logic. People listening to the music doesn’t mean they necessarily enjoy it, just hate it enough not to skip, were at the skip limit for their free account, etc. People listen to ads too, and nobody enjoys those.

“AI slop” came into common usage with the onslaught of ai-generated articles. They only got so popular because somebody was out there clicking on them enough to generate ad revenue. It’s a leap to assume that means they’re reading, much less enjoying them. I think the same applies here, and “slop” is reasonable.

I find myself annoyed by “not gonna lie”/“ngl”,“just sayin’”, or really anything along those lines that gets tacked on without adding anything to the statement.
