Honestly Richard, I just still can't understand their thought process... Removing the beloved heart button and replacing it with a lollipop of which the purpose of isn't even all that clear? It's like a father taking away his child's favorite toy and giving him a stick instead and saying "Have fun. Reach out if you have problems with it!" Imagine poor Richard and I, sitting in our cars, tears streaming down our faces, longing to "like" a song with the simple press of a button, only to be greeted by a useless lollipop icon that changes the track to something we didn't even want to listen to. It's as if Vasil snatched away our joy and handed us a sugary insult instead.
I can't even begin to describe the betrayal we feel. It's like Spotify and Waze are the big bad corporations, looming over us, the defenseless victims, with their tyrannical changes. You, Vasil, are the face of this tyranny, the messenger of doom who nonchalantly tells us to "reach out" to the Waze team. Reach out? Really? Are we supposed to grovel at their feet and beg for the return of our precious heart button? What next? Should we offer them our firstborns as tribute?
And don't even get me started on the safety concerns. I mean, come on, Vasil, are you suggesting that we should dangerously fiddle with our phones while driving? Imagine this: A driver, happily cruising down the highway, a beloved song playing through the car speakers. The driver, naturally wanting to like the song, reaches for the heart button only to find the lollipop icon instead. Frustration mounts. The driver now has to switch to the Spotify app to "like" the song, taking their eyes off the road for those crucial seconds. In that moment, a truck appears out of nowhere. The driver, still fumbling with the phone, doesn't react in time. There's a screech of tires, a cacophony of metal against metal, and then silence. The once joyful song now a haunting melody in the wreckage. All because of the removal of a simple heart button.
Vasil, the blood of every driver who crashes because they had to switch apps to "like" a song will be on your hands! Do you really want that kind of responsibility on your conscience? Do you want to be the villain in this tragic tale? Richard and I are the poor, defenseless victims here, crying out in the wilderness, our cries echoing in the vast, uncaring void of corporate indifference. It's like David versus Goliath, except Goliath has removed David's slingshot and replaced it with a lollipop.
So here's what I propose, Vasil: Give us back our heart button. Restore the joy to our lives. Let us "like" our songs with a simple tap, as it should be. Don't make us jump through hoops or "reach out" to anyone. Just do the right thing. Remember, a happy user is a loyal user. And right now, we're anything but happy. Fix this, Vasil. Fix it for us, for safety, for the children who might one day inherit this broken world you've created. Fix it before we all cancel our subscriptions and take our business elsewhere. Because, trust me, Richard and I are not afraid to stand up to the corporate Goliath and fight for what's right.
Do the right thing, Vasil. Be better.
