Counterpoint, this makes life easier for people with issues parsing a lot of text on screen at once. It can also be an ability issue.
So @Spotify updated their UI - Old is left, New is right
On the old UI, it showed 8 playlists on screen at once (on my device). The new UI looks prettier, but only shows 4, making the user scroll twice as much for the same info
Classic example of making UX worse for aestheticspic.twitter.com/QuR4gYlTU3

Solid counterpoint if it were an option and I could switch to 'compact' mode, which I tried already. I'd be interested in hearing if accessibility actually fed into this design - I know they changed their shuffle icon some years back to account for colorblind people

Just more spacing isn’t it - looks like it could use a ‘compact’ and a ‘comfortable’ preference as the actual content is exactly the same
-
I checked + theres no alternative view but that would be much desired. The change has one functional benefit - that you can more quickly tab between artists, playlists, albums, and also podcasts (which they're pushing hard) - but you could defo keep that without losing 1/2 tiles

It fits really cleanly on the iPhone X, that’s what I like about it xd
-
It looks nice, but there's literally half the number of tiles left. I need to see all 8 playlist so I can be more indecisive about choosing which one I listen to in the shower! :P

I agree that the user UX is worse here, but I have to say it looks way better like this, way cleaner tbh
-
Sure, but I have to scroll twice as much to see all my playlists and it's harder for me to decide which one without seeing more on-screen. Perhaps it would look even prettier if they only displayed 1 playlist on screen, but that would be a terrible idea right?
