I used Spotify super early and it’s crazy how anti consumer and musicians they are, or became. Every now and then they smuggled in some ads and every time it was like: omg what a weird glitch. Podcasts, you would still hear their stupid ads. Oh well, then they suddenly injected ads into podcasts, wait, why do i pay for ads now? Seriously they deserve to go under.
I had a few support cases open with them when I open Spotify and get full screen ads about podcast and they spin it all “oh no. That’s not an ad that’s a recommendation!”
I don’t use Spotify for podcasts, full stop, I had how I have to switch it from “all” to “music” on the home page. So dumb.
Spotify is an advertising platform, first and foremost. They don’t give a fuck about music or artists.
Or their customers 😅
