It is a common thing that family members annoy each other. While some annoyances are solved within the family, others make it to the public. For example, to the internet. There, these irritating family members become not only your problem but netizens’ as well.
Today’s antagonist fits into this narrative very well. They’re a mother and the manager of her family’sSpotifyplan, who decided to turn off explicit content as she wasn’t comfortable letting her grown children access it, which made her annoying not only in her child’s eyes but to the internet as well.

One day, today’s OP wanted to listen to some tunes on one of the largest audio-streaming services calledSpotify.
A mom from today’s story decided to turn off explicit content on Spotify for the whole family
Bored Pandareached out to one of these users,Jurgita, who has been a Spotify Premium subscriber and avid user since 2019, and she agreed to share some thoughts about the platform and today’s story.
Many say that Spotify’s success can beattributedto several factors: a large library of music and other kinds of audio content, affordability, an easy-to-use interface, and personalized recommendations.
Besides simply being able to find new music pretty quickly and music videos in the near future, Spotify has plenty of otherfeatures. For instance, Premium users can download music and listen to it while offline, and people can follow each other and see what others are listening to. Users can also use already existingSpotify playlists, of which there are plenty for every mood and type of music you can imagine, or create their own. Jurgita revealed that she uses this exact function the most often, and she also listens to podcasts from time to time.

So, as we mentioned, one day, the original poster went on Spotify to listen to some music. But they were met with a message saying that the manager of their current plan turned off the ability to listen to anything marked with that E letter. Since this plan manager was the OP’s mom, who lived apart from them, they wrote to her asking her what was up.
Apparently, this mom has turned off the explicit content for the whole family because she felt conflicted about giving them access to content that isn’t clean. She added that she always has this kind ofcontentoff for herself, so she will be deciding whether to turn it back on for everyone else or not.
Her 22-year-old child found this idea foolish and complained about this interaction online
Along with a complaint, they added the text messages between them and the mother, seemingly as proof of the whole thing
Jurgita also mentioned that while she doesn’t use this Spotify feature, she sees why it can be useful forparentswith younger children, as exposure to explicit content can be damaging to those who aren’t old enough for it.
Yet, today’s original poster is way beyond that age, so it’s almost natural that this kind of interaction with their mother ended up in this subreddit. Well, let’s just hope that when the mom makes the decision she’s teasing in the text messages, it will be to allow uncensored music and the family will be able to use theirfamilySpotify plan as intended.

Internet users found this idea just as foolish as the author did, and some of them were amazed at how naive (or obnoxious) this mother seemed to be
