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 generally buy merch from the small bands I like, and the rest are multimillionaires already.

While I listen to a wide variety of music, it tends to be popular music from a wide range of times where they’ve already made a lot from it.

But also, yes, there’s a level of convenience I’m not willing to give up. When an artist pulls their music from Spotify, I tend to just not listen to them, through no fault of their own, but it’s where I listen to everything else.

I’m trying YouTube music out since it’s theoretically a bit better and I already pay for YouTube premium.
