Spotify -> Facebook integration used to be optional. Now it's becoming mandatory. It's hard to find an upside of that for users.

The only upside that I can possibly think of is that some ... "non-technical" users won't get confused by choices. So now the choice has now been made for them to exchange their privacy for happy fun friend feeds. Simple!
