[Desktop][Friend Feed] Move 'Share Activity' Toggle to Friend Activity

Spotify recently decided to change the default of whether a user is sharing their activty or not. This update doesn't actually solve the issue that the activity toggle is hard to find and unknown by a large majority of users.

 

My suggestion is to place a toggle and indicator at the top of the 'Friend Activty' sidebar so that users can turn on and off their activty sharing with ease and be aware of their sharing status. This will not totally resolve the issue because a user will need to have the 'Friend Activity' sidebar enabled to see it to start with but it is a start to making this functionality far more accessible and obvious.

 

An additional change would be to place a 'Share Activty with Friends' button under the 'Private Session' button in the profile dropdown menu with a green check mark to it when enabled similar to what the 'Private Session' button does when enabled. If this is done it is important to make it clear in the settings menu and possibly through hints what the difference is between enabling a private session, and disabling sharing your activity.

After reading neaumrous comments on other boards, its obvious this may not get through to you. I'm not sure if you do not care or somebody higher up is screwing you over. The freind feed showing who is listening at any given time only shows a couple people, rather than all the people the user may be following. Users have been complaining about this for years and for some reason you're not listening. Stop being assholes and do your **bleep**ing jobs. Read what your users have to say and change. On ather note, i hope your families die of cancer. Godspeed you pieces**bleep**.
