What is your opinion on the new like and dislike button in Spotify? (feddit.de)

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.

Can you point out the minus for grandpa here who can't see for shit apparently?

- feels like the clearer icons if I just go on your text description. More of this, less of that. Heart always to me felt too much, like do I really love this song? So I only hearted very few songs, and only blocked even fewer, because that's also very harsh feeling. So I prefer this, if the UI is good? But I can't really tell from the image

The " - hide this song" button is hidden with all the other options like add to queue, view album/artist, etc. For me it's the 3 dots in the top right

There is none, I don't think the screenshots are of the new design OP talks about. I also checked in my app, and I have either a +/- (well I have a + in a circle that adds songs to playlists) nor a 👍 or 👎 or anything.

I think that's in fact supposed to be the joke, anyways. That Spotify does not have a like/dislike button.

The minus only shows up for recommendations/auto-generated things, to allow for signals that this is not the stuff you want to listen to.

It wouldn't make sense to have it in for example your liked songs, as those are curated by yourself, instead of being curated algorithmically.
