The Year is 2001. The iPod drops. Instantly goes viral. Everyone and their mom has one. People online are losing their minds: “Wow this is so cool. Thank god we can burn our CDs and transfer music to our iPods with iTunes.” It felt like the future.
Fast forward to now and Spotify just sits in your pocket. No CDs, no cables, no syncing, no nothing. Just music. Kinda gives the same vibe the iPod used to, except way more modern and actually convenient.
Anyway, enough yapping about modernity. Let’s talk nostalgia.
2007 rolls around and Apple drops the first iPhone. Phone, web browser, texting, iPod (now Apple Music), camera, photos, mail, YouTube, Google Maps… all in one slab. It genuinely changed everyone’s lives. Overnight the internet was flooded with “holy shit this is so cool, thank god we ditched our iPods for a phone that does everything.”
Then 2008 hits. App Store launches with iOS 2. Spotify shows up on it the same year.
By 2014 Spotify had already overtaken iTunes. iPod sales were in free-fall. Apple killed the iPod Classic and the writing was on the wall.
May 10, 2022 — the entire iPod lineup is officially discontinued.
And now? iPods are basically museum pieces. Almost nobody uses them. Well some people do, but not many people. Most people just open Spotify on their phone and blast music through high-quality Bluetooth headphones, earbuds, or speakers. Nobody even cares about the 3.5mm jack anymore. That shit is irrelevant as fuck.
Rant over. That’s the rise and fall of the iPod in a nutshell.
If anyone can relate, drop your thoughts in the comments. What was your experience with the iPod like? Did you love it? Hate the cables? Miss burning CDs? Or were you just happy when everything moved to your phone?
Would love to hear your stories.
Thanks for reading. Have a good day

I’m so tired of seeing 67 everywhere. This number is actively making the internet worse and I need to get this off my chest.

1. It’s trendy on social media for some reason and I genuinely don’t get why people think it’s funny. Like… what is the joke? Someone please explain it to me because I’m lost.
2. I’ve seen 67 all over the internet and it’s so overrated and forgettable. It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it’s just there being mid as hell.
3. I’m actually disgusted by this number at this point. The more I see it the more I hate it.
4. And of course, if you dare say you hate 67 people are gonna judge you like you just insulted their favorite child.
   Rant over. 67 can go kick rocks.

67 is overrated and we need a weapon so powerful to kill the enemy that’s in our way

AirPod Maxes suck. Straight up. Not only do they not have a freaking POWER BUTTON like literally every other decent pair of headphones on the planet (even cheap third-party ones have one), but they’re also insanely uncomfortable to wear for anything longer than an hour. The clamping force is brutal, my ears start sweating and hurting, and the headband feels like it’s trying to give me a migraine.
And the price? $550+ for this? Bro, there are so many better options out there with actual power buttons, way better comfort, longer battery life, and superior sound for half the price. But Apple said “nah, let’s make it premium by removing basic features.”
The worst part? To actually turn these things off, you have to shove them into their ugly-ass case like some kind of ritual. No off switch, no smart auto-off that actually works reliably. just “put it in the stupid expensive case or watch your battery drain.” Why? Why was this design even approved? It’s so inconsistent with every other Apple product that’s supposed to be “thoughtful.”
Whoever designed this monstrosity and the clowns who greenlit it need to be fired immediately. This isn’t innovation, it’s laziness mixed with arrogance. “Trust us bro, just buy the $60 case and deal with it.”
Anyone else regret buying these or am I just coping? Rant over. I’m going back to my sony headphones. 😂

I’m so done. Like actually fucking done. Every time I open Reddit hoping for some decent discussion, memes, or just a chill scroll, I’m immediately bombarded by the same bullshit: endless trolls, bitter haters, and people whose entire personality is shitting on everything and everyone.
This place used to feel like a community. Now it’s just a toxic echo chamber where the most upvoted comments are the ones that are the meanest, snarkiest, or most unhinged. God forbid you have a mildly positive take or share something you’re excited about — instant dogpile. “This is cringe,” “Touch grass,” “Ratio,” “Rent free,” etc. etc. The same tired ass phrases over and over like NPCs with no original thoughts.
The subs I used to love are ruined. Every post gets derailed by people arguing in bad faith, sealioning, or just straight-up bullying. And don’t get me started on the power-tripping mods and the karma farming bots. It’s exhausting.
I log on less and less because it genuinely puts me in a worse mood. Why the fuck do I keep coming back to a site that makes me hate people I’ve never even met?
If you’re also fed up with the constant negativity and troll infestation, you’re not alone. I might actually take a long break or just delete the app. Life’s too short to let Reddit rot my brain any further.
Rant over. Thanks for reading if you made it this far. ✌️

Thankfully I discovered the one desktop app that actually lets me change sound frequencies while using Apple Music (fxsound). But on mobile? Absolute fucking nothing. No real customization, no proper EQ, just garbage presets or straight-up nothing.

So I did the only logical thing: uninstalled that crap, canceled my subscription, and fully switched to Spotify. Haven’t looked back since. Spotify is just straight-up better than Apple Music in almost every way. Here’s why I’m never going back:

1. The UI actually makes sense. Intuitive, consistent, and no random redesigns every six months that break everything and make zero fucking sense. Things just work the way you expect.
2. The algorithm actually gets your music taste. Discovery, recommendations, playlists — Spotify smokes everyone. The rest feel like they’re throwing darts blindfolded.
3. Podcasts + audiobooks built in. I still use Audible for most books, but having everything in one app is stupidly convenient.
4. The 6-band custom EQ. Let me say it again: Six. Band. Custom. Equalizer. Spotify has had this shit since like 2014 and it’s still there on modern versions. Every other service either gives you dogshit presets or nothing at all. This one feature made the switch permanent for me. It’s actually embarrassing how the competition still can’t deliver basic sound customization in 2026.
5. Feature overload done right. SongDNA, Sound Capsule, listening stats, AI DJ, their Snake game (Eat This Playlist), song speed control, folders, Jams, music videos… Spotify just keeps shipping actually useful stuff while others half-ass copy the same three features.
6. Spotify Connect is god-tier. Seamless switching between phone, speakers, TV, laptop — nothing else comes close. The competition makes it feel like 2012 technology.
7. Spotify Wrapped destroys Apple’s pathetic rip-off every single year. No contest.
8. Now Playing screen that doesn’t suck. No giant useless volume slider taking up half the screen. They put it where it belongs (in the Bluetooth/AirPlay menu). The little details matter.
9. Search that actually feels personal. It shows shit related to you instead of generic recommendations.
   If you’re someone who actually cares about tweaking frequencies and sound quality, this is the move. I went through the whole annoying ritual of switching because Apple Music left me no choice on mobile. Worth every second.
   Anyone else make the jump and never regret it? Or are you still suffering with Apple’s half-baked bullshit?
