https://community.spotify.com/t5/Archived-content/what-the-heck-is-up-with-the-follow-feature/m-p/352342#M45879 what the heck is up with the follow feature? I HATE it. I have no control over who follows me.... I don't want any followers in the first place. I would prefer if you stopped trying to force my to use the service in a social way. I can discover the music I want to listen to on my own and I'm so sick of spotify trying to decide what I want to listen to or who I should follow. just stop please. The new update is slow as molasses and is just plain stupid. I don't want to follow bands ... they have worse taste than my friends.
