What is the logic behind unclickable artist names in custom playlists?
I know there are a ton of threads about Apple Music's terribly awful desktop app (those of you who honestly think AM works fine on a MacBook have probably never used a real app in your life).
But I just want to know if anyone understands the logic behind disabling artist links inside user-created playlists? What is the argument for not sending you to the artist's page when you click their name? And does anyone with more knowledge know if there’s an actual overhaul coming anytime soon, or are we just stuck with this crap forever?
It lowkey makes it impossible to build large playlists easily. Using AM desktop on a MacBook feels like being stuck in a Kafkaesque nightmare. I just want to know the logic behind this garbage.
Sorry for the vent.
