Panic at the Disco

As part of its 20th-anniversary celebrations, Spotify has deployed a new, mobile-only in-app experience called “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)”, which chronicles the highlights of each user’s time on the platform in a Wrapped-style summary but that’s not the story. Its mobile icon changed temporarily into a green disco ball and it apparently split the internet into those that hated it and those that loathed it because if there is one thing users (of anything) hate is change and obviously, backlash ensued. Go off Spotify, you do you! But also, for the life of me, when the app icon changed, I could not tell what it was until I held my phone an eighth of an inch away from my face.
