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!? 😑

    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?

          Yep that’s what it is. No one is streaming Cruel Summer - SCB’s version and now I’m sad.
