Spotify made a thing called Car Thing that people could use in their cars to listen to music. But not many people liked it, so they stopped making it and will turn off the ones that still work in December. They also said sorry and will give money back to those who bought it if they show proof of purchase. Read from source...

- The headline is misleading and sensationalized. It suggests that Spotify is doing customers a favor by offering refunds, when in fact they are doing it to settle a lawsuit and avoid further legal issues. A more accurate headline would be "Spotify Settles Class Action Lawsuit By Offering Car Thing Refunds".
- The article fails to mention the reason behind the discontinuation of Car Thing, which was the lack of consumer interest and competition from better alternatives like Apple CarPlay and Google Auto. This information is relevant for readers who want to understand the context of Spotify's decision.
- The article uses vague terms like "a group of Car Thing customers" and "now-defunct accessories". It does not provide any details about the size, location, or identity of the plaintiffs, nor does it explain what made the devices defunct or how many were still in use. This lack of specificity makes the article seem unprofessional and unreliable.
- The article ends with a random and irrelevant reference to another Benzinga article about Apple headphones and Sonos. There is no connection between the two topics, and it seems like an attempt to generate more clicks or views by creating confusion or curiosity. This is a cheap journalistic tactic that undermines the credibility of the source.
