Exactly why I instantly stopped paying for Spotify. They even went so far as to have regular advertising before podcasts.

Not paying for shit like that, only because they put a clause in the TOS that says ad free only means ad free music.

I have no qualms using any ad blocking option available. And I am happily paying for creators using patreon or other means they provide.




Oh Spotify does not have ad free music and there is no subscription level that makes Spotify music free of advertisements.

They hunt me with banners and popups for random musicians almost every day.

What they provide is an ad free music "listening experience", meaning: it is not audio ads. It's a really sneaky and toxic product in that way.


Couldn’t agree more. Enshittification as a symptom of (hopefully) late stage ~~cancer~~ capitalism.
