I’ll just keep downloading music thanks.

obligatory fuck spotify. the worst streaming service ever https://youtu.be/x6x5t0cj1sM

I’m more bothered by there being ads inserted in podcasts when I’m a paying customer tbh

You get 30 minutes of ad-free listening, but not all in a row. Sounds like you got 8 minutes worth already; after this ad, you can get another 8 minutes.

That's supposed to be a comma - "Enjoy 30 minutes of ad, free listening"

Real radio be like: 30 minutes of music free ads. I literally stopped listening to FM radio because I would drive to another town 45 minutes away and not hear a single fucking song.

30 minutes of ad free music. Not all in a row though.

You can sue them. If is not specified that must be in a row you CAN sue, or at least you can report them with the competent organization. It's in normal language, not legal language. People using spotify are not lawyers, are normal people. If the thing says "30 minutes free" it do must mean that, no "ooohhh you mean, 30 minutes, like, in row??" bullshit.

Fuck Spotify. Also, I can't hear the music that I want in their free plan, because I choose some song and the platform plays whatever they want. Again, fuck them.

In retrospect, it could be hilariously worth it to buy an ad spot and just play that "enjoy 30 minutes of ad free listening" blurb.

Y'all are getting full tracks?

Usually you just redirect some host names to localhost and all your ad problems magically disappear.

Man I haven’t gotten that “30 minutes of uninterrupted listening” shit in a few months. I swear, they’ve been slowly increasing the amount of ads per song, from like 1 ad per 4 songs to I shit you not, 2 ads per song. I usually have to restart the web page since it gets stuck on desktop, or close the app on mobile. They’re probably overcompensating since they’re salty they aren’t getting any revenue from me.

Damn, they let you get 2 whole songs in? Usually I get 3 ads right after "30 minutes of ad free listening" one

Back when I used spotify, it was exclusively via desktop browser with ublock, never had an ad load

Cracked apks exist, people.

Did they say thirty minutes in a row?

cough Calaboka cough
