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!? 😑

    Thats how all advertisements started. Small, not overdone. Then people became okay with paying and receiving ads. So they slowly increase the amount until you have what cable has become.

      Most ads are terrible because they are annoying and advertise bad products. I think that’s less likely to be a problem here because your music is the ad, if it is annoying and bad you will simply stop listening and they lose money on the ad.

      If it would be ads for podcasts for example, it would be much much worse for me.
