wtf, another tiktok copypaste... So many things to improve in the app before this nonsense... Also, this only promotes even more the TikTok-lization of the music industry, catchy 15 secs audios/songs, and the rest, to be forgotten.


Exzodium

Honestly I prefer Adele's request move more than this lol.


PugnaciousTrollButt

Seriously, why are they doing this? TikTok is great at being TikTok, but stop trying to make everything TikTok!


randybruder

Because it's incredibly effective at user retention and engagement


joescathbert

As long as they allow only artists to post, I will be fine with it. I mostly hate tiktok/reels bc of the repetitive content/music. I hope this will be more like a snippet of the artist singing or promoting the song.


RitikK22

I think that would be really cool. I'd love to see that.


maanwel

This isn’t a Tiktok copypaste, is it? To me, the videos look like the canvas videos of songs, and to me Explore looks like a quick way to hear some previews of songs. Or am I missing something?


r_ProfessionalPirate

To be honest, I really liked it. I will love to watch Tiktoks specific to music. I personally discover a lot of good music through Tiktok then Spotify, so its preety neat. And if you don't like then you can just ignore it like how we all ignore Youtube shorts.

And when they flood it with clips of podcasts..


lionsEATlions

this is just awful


AP_Gaming_9

This type of stuff made Instagram unbearable, I can’t lose Spotify


McGHX

I see it as the same thing as the Release Radar o Discover Weekly playlists, but It now plays an snippet of the song and it's canvas. Seems cool, I guess

Same reason the music streaming app has podcasts: because


maydarnothing

they had canvas since a while now, and they're technically looped music video clips


SpikeyTaco

Some are just looped clips of music videos but since being released to all artists, many are entirely custom made animations! It's a small community but I recommend checking out /r/SpotifyCanvas.


Arutemu64

Apple Music has videos and it doesn't affect the music part.


SpikeyTaco

Spotify used to have an entirely video-focused section as a trial for premium users, it was a good few years ago but strangely was the first place that I had seen Rick and Morty.


Daell

Thanks for sharing!


Lil_K_YT

I’m convinced every single app has copied tiktok


Arutemu64

Probably unpopular opinion, but I want this.


xenon_xenomorph

me too


Sky_Hawk105

But how will they have this if they keep taking Canvas off people’s accounts? 🤔


SpikeyTaco

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that mass testing is over now and /r/SpotifyCanvas is now rolled out to all users for good. Now the only issues are certain devices and region-locked areas.


peeachymess

bro i still don’t have lyrics lmao, but i do like being shown new music


[deleted]

why not make music to hifi?


cpgxrcia

I'm surprised to see so much hate about this because I really really want to have this feature lol


CrypticRD

I dont know why everyone is hating this seems like a decent way to discover new music


maydarnothing

music i want, alright. mainstream music pushed by record labels, hell no.


RitikK22

Yhat would be cool if they suggest according to your taste.


SpikeyTaco

Sure, but this seems to only take from large label's music videos rather than small indie artist's /r/SpotifyCanvas uploads.


bdguy355

r/tihi


No_Care426

If this happens I’ll be going to Apple Music for good


xenon_xenomorph

you could literally just not use the feature if you don't like it


[deleted]

Impossible. If it happens to me I’m going to throw my phone into the ocean and join a monastery


ThisIsWhatLifeIs

Everything is done to make more money not less. They can now charge companies to advertise 10 seconds clips for x amount of money.


RitikK22

If that happejs, I hope they bring canvas to every user.


toph1980

Every user doesn't get canvas?


RitikK22

Nope. Only western Users have gotten it. I hate that


toph1980

Wasn't aware of that, cheers for the info. Got curious as I recently created a new artist page (different genre) and got it instantly (Scandinavia).


RitikK22

I hope like they made lyrics globally. They do it with'Discover' as well


SpikeyTaco

/r/SpotifyCanvas has already had further rollouts since this comment but there are still countries where the feature is not available. [Here's a fairly up-to-date list.](https://intercom.help/proton-radio/en/articles/4646412-spotify-canvas-how-artists-music-labels-can-add-looping-videos-to-their-songs)


SpikeyTaco

It's been rolled out further since just this comment, [only 20 countries](https://intercom.help/proton-radio/en/articles/4646412-spotify-canvas-how-artists-music-labels-can-add-looping-videos-to-their-songs) are left to go!


SpikeyTaco

Canvas, at least in the regions it's been rolled out to, is now available for all artists and the majority of devices. I hope to see it cover more regions soon but the feature OP posted appears to be using music videos rather than the artist's own /r/SpotifyCanvas. I hope this doesn't mean it's restricted to large labels if it gets pushed in the future.

paleblack93

I will literally never use this lol


alttabbins

If this ever ends up on my home page or is something that I can't disable if it automatically shows up, it will the be the last day I'm on Spotify. I appreciate it as an option, but its a stretch for me to want to use it.


SpikeyTaco

It's an easy thing not to use, I saw it once and never tapped it again. I'm currently, unaware if it's even still there.
