This is more UX than UI but the inconsistent volume is a nightmare, adding insult to injury. Everything I want to be equal or quieter is way louder.

Waaaay more painful. Lately, primarily when via Chromecast, I get ads that are three to 15+ minutes long. Whole music videos forced into the middle of my kid watching a kids show. One time I got a literal sermon as an ad. The whole thing.
It feels like it should be illegal, especially for kids videos. I'm doing dishes the room over and have to stop, dry my hands, dig through my phone to find the skip button.
So you're saying it's proportional all the way up and not a big deal, or people love assholes and upvote all their material and comments for greater proportional impact?
If anything I would argue that the first and early adopters are less likely to be assholes, to where eventually you reach that tipping point and move back towards the average, which feels worse in what is a collection of niche communities, because the average engages slightly different content than early adopters.
Moreso, I think it's just confirmation bias. OP is hyper sensitive to a change in the culture so every example of it weighs a little more.
To be clear, like most things, I don't think it's one thing or another; a little from A, a little from B, and probably a slew of other factors.
How is Spotify ruining discovery? Imo they're absolutely crushing it, I've been loving their new DJ feature, used it exclusively on a four our car ride and the mix was awesome, and found a couple new bands. My only complaint is that their recent redesign and navigation patterns are a step down.
Or do you mean in terms of the free plan?
