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 ment to say I don’t get why anyone would pay for that.

    Artist are trying to get paid for people listening on Spotify, not the other way around.

    I guess It’s like advertising your product on amazon so people buy from you not others, but somehow it feels stupid when you think about it in the context of a music streaming service.

      Well, spins the first week can lead to having a BB100 or BB200 track/album.

      That kind of thing is important for the legs of an album/track.
