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!? 😑

    Only one way to find out. If their algorithms are any good at all, you’ll like it.

    No matter what, artists only seek to be on Spotify to get recognition/listens, so it makes no sense to be upset about this.

    This is the boomeriest shit I’ve seen online in a while.

      Not wanting sponsored content on a paid service?

      You sad no one listens to your music or something?

        Yep that’s what it is. No one is streaming Cruel Summer - SCB’s version and now I’m sad.
