They really do make things worse and worse and worse. Related to your playlist example - saving an actual album I liked as a new playlist would give it a default title, "artist - album title" or something like that. Fine, 2 clicks: create the playlist, and accept the title.

Now? A blank text box. "Let's ignore the artist and album this user's basing a playlist on and make them type the whole thing from memory". I just don't bother any more, which seems petty but it's just so cumbersome, from mobile especially.
