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!? ๐Ÿ˜‘

Just because they're incompetent doesn't mean they're not greedy.

Also, executives can still be cleaning up even as the company struggles to profit.

    Executives being greedy isn't the same as a greedy business model

    This makes no sense. Greedy execs are the ones who would implement a greedy business model to pursue their greed.

    What part of the executive compensation package are you taking specific issue with exactly? From what I could see, they're largely paid in stock and the CEO hasn't taken a bonus since COVID.

    Or are you just talking executives in general and not looking at what Spotify does specifically?
