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!? 😑

    Except Spotify literally is based around recommending you music, and recommendations appear at the bottom of every playlist. Let your playlist run past its end and you’ll be fed recs.

    If you bought something you don’t want, that is specifically advertised as the thing you don’t want, you’re the problem.

    Idk what’s up with people and hating progress for its own sake, but you sound like an idiot when you say shit like this.

    This is seriously some “old man yells at cloud” type shit.

      Have you never noticed the “repeat all” option? Which is how I have all my shit play so I don’t get recommendations after my playlist completes.

      This isn’t old man yells at clouds. Having ads and pop ups on a service I fucking pay not to have ads is complete and utter bullshit.

      If I want to go looking for song recommendations I certainly can. But I do not appreciate them placing intrusive ads that take up my entire screen.
