You know what? Company that silently ignores hundreds of its Android users requests to implement such a basic functionality like playlist reordering for more than 3 years maybe deserves to die. It's a book exanple of business and customer service fail and tremendous arrogance.

It's not hard to believe. It's one of many, many things Spotify has done to indicate how little they care about their users. Here are a few more, arranged somewhat chronologically:

* Forcing mandatory Facebook logins, only to walk them back

* Releasing a "version 1.0" of their desktop app with no CTRL-F support and dozens of missing features

* Breaking people's hardware with bugs that made hundreds of unnecessary reads and writes to drives, denying the issue existed until pressed to fix it

* Silently removing basic features from their apps, or pushing UI updates that make said features harder to use

I think it's more likely that Android represents a negligible share of their users than some kind of intentional malice.
