It’s a reasonable increase considering recent inflation, and safe since YouTube just raised their price too. In the long run I would be worried for them since YouTube premium is a much better deal if you don’t care about Spotify’s exclusive podcasts.

I’m about ready to get rid of Spotify. I’ve been catching up on Critical Role Podcast and within the past couple weeks I’m hearing ads randomly in the pidcast that breas immersion. I’m already paying for Premium, why TF am I hearing ads?

Are those the baked in ads of the podcast itself? I listen to some that have those, don’t think you can get rid of them in any way.

I’m not sure…some of the ads seem like they are the basic ads being played by Spotify and then some are done by the cast of the podcast. If they’re baked in, the narrative geniuses are choosing some weird time to put them in!

If you’re on Android, search up xManager. It basically lets you install a Premium version of Spotify while having a free account.

I came here to say the same thing. I’ve been using it for years and it works perfectly. Unfortunately you can’t download though, but that’s not I would use Spotify for anyway

It also doesn’t let you listen at the highest quality. ReVanced manager can be fed a YouTube Music APK, been using that ever since and its alright
