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!? 😑

    It’s personally a catch 22 for me.

    I listen to an absolutely absurd amounts of different artists. A large portion of them simply don’t have albums available for purchase and if they did… I would actually go broke buying all the stuff I listen to.

    Every single day I type in a Combo of 2 random letters and numbers into spotify and listen to the first artist I don’t recognize.

    It really sucks that Spotify doesn’t pay the artists anything reasonable but I haven’t found an alternative that allows me to consume as much different music as I currently do.

    This isn’t even including the podcasts and audio books into the equation.
