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!? 😑

    Me listening to Joe Rogan in my car:

    “This episode is brought to you by Athletic …”

    “Aaaargh! I pay Spotify! They gave you eight and eight figure contract! Why the fuck are there ads??”

      There’s an easy way to fix that. Stop listening to Joe Rogan.

        The little I’ve seen of Joe seems like this:

        Some rich guy you’ve never heard of: “So, umm, yeah, I’ve been trying this new form of yoga.”

        Joe: hits blunt and drinks something harmful “Oh yeah?”

        Guy 1: burp “Yeah, and it’s really opened my eyes and shit, y’know?”

        Joe: “Oh really?”

        (This but for who knows how long).
