"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
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!? 😑

Might I add, I hate the way every user-facing UI has devolved into the Youtube Shorts / TikTok "doomscrolling" swipe-UI now. There seems to be absolutely not a single braincell left in UI development to even consider the actual use case of the interface.
It's all just:
Not sure what this has to do with the post. You don't need to swipe to dismiss that modal.
Hold on! This is a modal?! That's even worse, I had these card-style things as scrollable cards before! 😧
what's worse about it? You just need to touch "DISMISS"
