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!? 😑

Yes. If I want a recommendation I’ll ask for it.
Ok Boomer lol
You asked for it when you signed up for an app that is built around recommending you music
Perhaps just consider purchasing music outright, if you don’t want features an app is built to provide.
Signed up for an app that plays the music I tell it to without having to buy every CD. Not recommendations, access to their library.
If I was on the free version, maybe. But on premium where I am specifically paying NOT to have ads, yea, ads piss me off.
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.
“have you noticed that music players have an option to repeat music?”
Yes I am aware of how apps I choose work, unlike OP.
could you explain why you think spotify is built around recommending music moreso than playing music?
Because tons of apps play music and Spotify recommends music?
spotify not being based around playing music because other services also play music is definitely one of the takes of all time
See when you sell a product, you come up with what’s called a “features/benefits list” and this list should differentiate you from competitors
Kind of an important part of launching a product.
that’s cool and all but not on the topic of “what is spotify based around”
Good thing I’m not on Spotify. Even if I was, I only want recemdarions on my terms, like maybe when I check out their recommended lists, not as an ad shoved in my face after hypothetically paying for their service. If not wanting ads, even helpful ones, is wrong I don’t want to be right.
And that’s exactly why I buy my music, you’re right.
Congratulations on avoiding this issue by being a smart consumer. OP could learn from ya.
