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!? 😑

      I use Spotify for the social features. Everyone I know is on it. Audio quality really doesn’t matter since I’m using bluetooth headphones anyway.

      Plus I’d rather support an independent European company like Spotify than any of the big five.

        I’d rather support the actual artists more. Apple pays the artists 3 times as much per stream as Spotify.
