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!? 😑

    I stopped using Spotify after I noticed that a song’s share URL contains unique tracking elements. Then they started trying to lock down the podcast market, which reaffirms that leaving was the right choice.

      I switched to Deezer for the pod cast issue. My favourite pod cast kept being deleted from Spotify. Owner said it was Spotify at fault. Also had issues with offline mode.

      Deezer is awesome.
