I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    Agree, extravagant bonuses need to be paid to all those executives, shareholders, investors, and music producers so that they can continue pushing their pet artist everywhere, and can continue employing the engineering teams that will keep quiet and keep pumping out that sweet sweet code.

    We need those people to control everything we hold valuable, otherwise everything would be chaos! Therefore they are supposed to milk us on all of our online actions, our personal devices, etc. We owe them so much!

      A once a month pop up for a new album release is milking you? I don’t see this as any different than the inserts from CDs and Vinyl that listed other items available to purchase. You just take them out and throw them away.
