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!? 😑

    Executives being greedy isn’t the same as a greedy business model

      This makes no sense. Greedy execs are the ones who would implement a greedy business model to pursue their greed.

        What part of the executive compensation package are you taking specific issue with exactly? From what I could see, they’re largely paid in stock and the CEO hasn’t taken a bonus since COVID.

        Or are you just talking executives in general and not looking at what Spotify does specifically?

          So they’re incompetent on top of greedy. They’re selling access to everybody’s music and paying peanuts.
