Admittedly I just use a cracked Spotify app so I have premium without paying for it 😭Shits too expensive for me, sorry, all my money goes to insulin, food, and the cat. Not surprised they'd do some stupid shit like this, especially after they locked lyrics behind a paywall...ya know, the thing Spotify doesn't even do themselves? They just take the lyrics from a website where the lyrics are uploaded by fans for FREE, so ain't that swell! Shitty company.
I know I use musi which is basically youtube but for music and it cost nothing. When I saw the lyrics behind a paywall I was like come on wtf Spotify I could literally just look up the lyrics for free like whats the point
seriously spotify is a horrible company!! despite being the dominating music streaming service, they barely pay artists, they're killing music journalism and alternative streaming services, and made the app unusable for free users in the past 5 years ugh

Well it just pushed me to self-hosting content on a spare computer. I have a feeling that will become a more popular option as these subscription services continually try to nickel and dime us while providing us with less value.
@@lego_minifigthis, imo, is the best path for ppl looking to save money, me and my friends have a media server that we share, which works practically the same as netflix. we each have our own accounts and we can request all kinds of media, music, movies, shows, even e-books. later on we wanna try and set up a server for cloud gaming, it’ll be cost a bit, but then again, so do subscriptions

@@sklynnHonda actually only recently started putting actual analog controls back on their infotainment systems and climate controls. For a couple years they were almost exclusively digital and people hated it a lot
i have an old car and i LOVED my car thing. it was so so so much more convenient than playing music just directly through my phone. i was heartbroken when they announced they were bricking it, it keeps me off my phone in the car :(
exactly!! I got it as a gift when it went on sale. Honestly great for my older car. The voice controls worked great, i loved the physical buttons on top that you could set as whatever you wanted, the physical home button and large knob for volume control. Yeah, it was a glorified remote, but it worked well for me! If i said “hey spotify, play the menzingers” It would do it! My phone doesn’t know how to do that! Just sooooo irritating
i got the car thing pretty much as soon as it came out bc i thought it would be nice to have since i was a delivery driver and had a car with no touch screen or anything so i was floored when they sent that fuck ass email saying they were bricking all of them >:( i even made a video review thing over it !! glad they changed their minds on it . thank you so so much for talking about this, i rant about this to my friends too much LOL . happy moving !!✨
most people making videos about the car thing do not own a car thing so they are not privy to a very funny thing that happened very early on. I got my "throw your car thing away" email and then the next day I got an email saying "Regarding the Car Thing". The email just said "yeah we know you guys are upset, we're still doing it no refunds"
I love how you casually reference Jenny's recent 4+ video as if it's a popular movie that we've all seen. Because yes, I absolutely know what you're talking about, since I've already watched it several times.
I actually used my car thing in my car and I'm actually pretty ticked off that they're doing this. I have a car from 2007. The car thing let me change songs, etc, without the danger of using my goddamn phone while driving. I got it when it was on sale for $30 and used it for like a year and now it's just gonna be bricked. Wtf :)
Since the Car Thing came out I've used it everytime I drive. I love it and I'm pissed as fuck they're discontinuing it. Granted I only paid 8 bucks for it, but it came out when I was thinking about getting an aftermarket carplay screen so it was a no brainer. I continued using Spotify because of the car thing.
You can't even mail it back they literally just tell you "throw it away" I'm dying laughing! Worst part is as a heavy music listener I like the computer pairing they figured out.
It says so little about the cultural impact of The Gray Man that when you said it was a Netflix film I was like hmmm 99 percent sure it was on Apple because I couldn't recall ever seeing it advertised on Netflix. But nope, it's on Netflix lol. whoops.
Fun Fact: The car thing dosent even connect to spotify servers. They are just pushing out an update to the mobile app to tell everyones car things to self destruct
i switched to apple music a few months ago and it was the best decision i ever made, and this is coming from a person who used spotify for years AND has a car thing! spotify fucking sucks in every way.
Same. I’ve been fed up with Spotify for years but I never found a good alternative until I tried Apple Music. The only sad thing is that everyone else I know is still on Spotify which makes sharing music much harder.
“no matter the year or model of your vehicle” my car doesn’t have Bluetooth so um I’ll just stick with my aux (I didn’t even know this existed) edit: also dropout tv mention lets go 🙏🏻🙏🏻
ok but this didn’t even need to exist in the first place??? for the same price you can buy an apple carplay/android auto unit for your car, which not only lets you control spotify but pretty much EVERY other streaming service + phone calls and text messages. who was this for?
update: after a few hours in a chat and providing my literal bank statement, I got a full refund!! never would have known I could do that without watching this video. thanks again ✌
I use an AUX port Bluetooth plugin for my 2006 car and aside from my first one MELTING in the summer heat a couple years ago I've never had an issue. Plus I don't exclusively listen to music. Podcasts, audiobooks and even just listening to youtube. It doesn't seem worth it.
anyone else think they were definitely prepared to refund people, but they tried to discontinue it without a refund anyway in the hopes that they could ignore the backlash? they're not stupid, they know they would be expected to refund customers if they brick their devices. but they probably thought: well, we didn't sell a lot of these, so if we scam them there's a chance no one important will notice. scum move, even if they didn't get away with it. i wonder if anyone has figured out how to hack these things, they'd be better off as bootlegs than feeding a landfill
addendum - also this device was not a bad idea, maybe if they actually debuted it at $29 and were honest about its functionality they likely would've made good money. billing it as a car device when it's basically a remote was dumb. they were trying to fool people about its capability, but by doing so they left tiktokers to figure out its usefulness instead of billing it as a multi-setup device, effectively throwing away a big slice of the consumer base. it's like they went out of their way to make this device repulsive to as many consumers as possible. i can't help but ponder what occurred here. i'm tempted to assume there was an executive who utterly hated the car thing and did everything in their power to sabotage what was, in essence, a gimmicky but not utterly useless device.
"Surely it can't cost that much to maintain the service!" Well, considering Spotify has been actively losing money for years (they don't actually turn a profit, ever) and is desperately trying to make money by gating every feature behind premium, it probably costs them enough for them to see it as completely useless
just discovered this channel but your humor has me wheezing. thank you, subscribed, and im so glad i blew all my oil money down at the race track instead of on this car thing
I actually bought it and I loved it and still do. I use it as a way to control my music while having my phone as a navigation tool. It also helped for passengers to choose music. It's total bull that this is happening. However, *allegedly* you can get a refund if you have a receipt and go through customer service now, I haven't tried it myself but I'm so pissed.
I got an early bird pricing for my CarThing and absolutely loved it. Works well in my 1994 Ford Ranger which does not have a working stereo. Used the CarThing to control my music playing through a pillbox speaker. Now, I'd have to pull out my phone to interact with music which is illegal in my state and would also trip my insurance tracking which gives me a discount if I don't touch my phone while driving.

Crude oil joke and Spotify being the middlean line are absolute gold. Your overall delivery, pacing, and writing are also all fantastic, keep up the work bro
This is just what every product is now. You don't own anything you buy. You buy the privilege of using it for however long the company decides to let you before arbitrarily cutting off service. These companies should not be ALLOWED to do this. If you launch a product or service which requires the company to verify it, run servers or do anything to keep it operational there should be a law that says you have to offer that service in perpetuity or for at least ten years, at the end of which time you must make the tools to operate it from the client side publicly available for free.
it's all because spotify is actually worth barely anything, despite their success/market dominance/billions in revenue, for a number of reasons this year was actually the first year the company was actually profitable since its founding, and i think trying to brick the car thing may have come from an out of touch executive trying to cut all "excess" spending thinking customers wouldn't care
I still use the personalized radio frequency thing in my car (the exact one you showed, actually), and it works better, faster and more reliably than any car I've ever been in with built in bluetooth. Everyone else in my family has bluetooth in their car and the controls are laggy and unresponsive, the initial connecting is a pain, pairing to the car always involves pressing something in both the car and phone, they have issues staying connected and want access to your calls, messages and contacts. My little radio thing just connects when I start the car and plays music/handles calls with no issues.
But this decision allows us to focus on developing new features and enhancements that we will sell you that we will discontinue supporting 2 to 3 years leaving you with landfill.
See, I had really been excited for the car thing. My car doesn't have bluetooth and I use an aux cord to listen to Spotify.

Thank god i found this video because i got to talk to support and say “pls dont make it non-operational!!!” And she said she’ll get it to the right people - LOVE THE SUPPORT TEAM!!! And because i have had a family plan, they might actually give me a refund 😎
I wanted one of these so badly when they first came out but couldn’t afford it. Thank goodness I’m broke I guess?
thanks for the video harry i hope the move goes smoothly! xo
Lol… almost got it but had just a ‘new’ car with Bluetooth in it 2 months before it came out. Phew!
Bought this and ended up not using it after plugging it in exactly one time. It’s been in its box every since and now I can just toss it I suppose
11:29 lmao the tiny pic
I’ve never heard of the car thing and I’ve REALLY never heard of the grey man. Still watched the video though. 👍
So, to streamline their offerings, they’re discontinuing a product that hasn’t been for sale for months. Makes sense
the discord link in the description is expired!
