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!? 😑
Imagine not wanting to be recommended things you’d like lol
But this is a sponsored recommendation. It’s an ad. Will I really like it or do they just want money?
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?
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.
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.
