"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!? 😑

Soon it will be pay for Spotify on the same tier but also hear ad's.
How to introduce ads to the current premium tier without having everyone complain and leave
Step 1 - Introduce a new paid tier that's cheaper, has all the premium features, but still has ads
Step 2 - wait a few months
Step 3 - increase all prices so that new "cheaper" tier is the same price as the current premium tier
This sounds like the Netflix model.
Maybe then they will turn a profit
Or pay artists for once lol
