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!? 😑

    If you’re not paying you are the product. If you ARE paying you are STILL the product. This is how big tech works.

    Spotify is injecting sponsored content into Premium , they’re double-dipping —subscription money and advertiser cash. That’s how big tech works and play with us.

    Totally agree—paying for Spotify Premium should mean no ads, period. These “sponsored recommendations” feel like a sneaky way to double dip. It’s just corporate greed masked as personalization.
