What is your opinion on the new like and dislike button in Spotify?
What is your opinion on the new like and dislike button in Spotify?
So Spotify recently changed from a green heart and a block song button to and + and a - for liking and disliking. What is your opinion?
My personal preference would be to bring back the green heart and make a deep red broken heart.
And I know spotify is proprietary yada yada I don't care for music streaming. So pls don't let it be a part of the discussion.
To reference this is an old screenshot I found on the internet.

What's wrong with just a thumbs up and thumbs down?
There's no functional difference between +/- and 👍/👎.
So what is the result of 5👍2?
That's easy
There are definitely differences. + And - imply addition and subtraction, while 👍👎 imply pleasure and displeasure, or agreement and disagreement. The + and - in this context is quite ambiguous, because it could mean volume up/down, or adding or subtracting the song from a playlist for example. Those would be my first guesses without context I think. Color coding them would help, because it would give more weight to the action, but I think the iconography is still overly ambiguous compared to other options. Source: am professional designer.
Because negative feelings don’t belong anywhere near a social product…. Just look at what YouTube and Facebook did
