    I’ve never got an ad in Spotify since I started paying for it 11 years ago, once and a while I get a pop-up about a new feature but never trying to sell me anything.

    Do you not pay for Spotify? Maybe that’s why there’s ads… ya know like anything else.

      I pay the highest subscription possible and get promoted playlists, promoted artists, promoted podcasts and despite having the feature disablerd I get in app notifications of concerts.

        Does it bother you when youtube recommends videos to you too, they arent ads they are recommending you new content. Do you not go to shows? I love that I get a heads up when bands I follow are coming to town so I can get tickets and clear work if I have to. You are clearly one of those people who are impossible to please, but heres a novel idea for you, if you dont like it stop paying for it, dumb ass. Im sure the alternative services will be any different. and also youre also an asshole and I hope you have a bad day.

          God you are a very angry man with all your assumptions. Recommendations are not promoted content, they are different.

          I had a great day I am off work enjoying myself.
