One example that comes to mind is many people’s experience with the music streaming service, Spotify. A few years ago, users appreciated the simple interface and straightforward features it offered. However, with newer updates, some users have found the interface increasingly cluttered with ads and promotional content, making it harder to navigate and find specific music. The focus has shifted more towards promoting podcasts and playlists, which some long-time users feel detracts from the original value of just accessing and enjoying music easily. While the service has improved in many technical aspects, the user experience for some seems to have been compromised with the newer versions.
