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!? 😑

    The screenshot literally says “sponsored recommendation”. Not sure how much more clear it can be that somebody paid money for that.

      I ment to say I don’t get why anyone would pay for that.

      Artist are trying to get paid for people listening on Spotify, not the other way around.

      I guess It’s like advertising your product on amazon so people buy from you not others, but somehow it feels stupid when you think about it in the context of a music streaming service.
