They also ripped out messaging and the ability to share music directly after allowing it to die a slow death that involved it being completely hidden form the web client.

As a big fan of data analysis I've also noticed that they no longer accurately report or record user preferences and instead heavily weight popular artists. They also only sent out the "Year in Review" to people that were subscribed to their spam emails.

Those two things are what brought me to them over Google Play Music. I'm currently in the process of switching back.
