What are we talking about here - Spotify or Shopify ?

If Shopify - and you are concerned about their engineering teams, please consider that Shopify's revenue grew from roughly $205 million in 2015 to $11.56 billion in 2025, reflecting an explosive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 45% across the past decade. Market validates !

I have nothing to add about Spotify - I use it to listen to music and it works well for me !



> Spotify or Shopify

Both. The post is about Shopify, but some of the comments expanded the conversation to include Spotify as well.

fwiw the post mentioned Shopify and Spotify, hence why you see discussion of both


Shopify works well for me but it used to push nonsense like podcasts or audio books that I had no interest in, with no way for me to hide them. I just want to listen to music.

Upon looking just now, seems like they have been relegated to their own tabs now, which is great.


I can’t tell if we’re trolling at this point with the mixing up of Shopify and Spotify


I thought we were talking about Sportifei - the new outdoors retailer ?

It's accidental. This mixup is essentially a meme at Shopify this point.


When I did some consulting for an e-commerce company that used Shopify, I had a Colombian coworker who kept confusing Shopify and Spotify which was contagious across our company but we always knew what we were referencing because we dont use Spotify to start an e-commerce page.

Similarly, we've had confusion with AWS Amplify and Amplitude (metrics service).


Poor reading comprehension is more likely than trolling.


Or I just made a typo. I dont think anyone actually has the understanding that Shopify is a music streaming service and Spotify is a shopping plug-in. I was addressing the latter half of gp's comment which was saying that Spotify has had no problems and I wrote (or perhaps got autocorrected, as I had to correct my phone several times writing this comment).

I cant speak for the rest of the commenters.
