My Question or Issue

Same ad dispite disliking. Stupid chase bank nobody wants to listen to "Maybe she lost it at this" Disgusting and inappropriate. THE DISLIKE BUTTON SHOULD TAKE AWAY THAT AD. The fact spotify keeps playin that ad makes me feel like it's on purpose "Oh you don't like this ad?" We will play it MORE!! It is the ONLY ad i get now!!!!!

Hi @dillybar5543,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

The availability of ads tailored to your specific interests varies between countries, so if you keep seeing the same one, we'd suggest disabling Tailored ads in your account privacy settings.

If this doesn't help, you can report the ad by leaving all the requested info in this thread. That way we can forward the details to the right team.

Why do I keep hearing certain advertisements even after I mark it offensive

kixstar — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 19:51:58 GMT

Why do I keep hearing certain advertisements even after I mark it offensive? When I get advertisements for certain content that I find disturbing (true crime films, for example) I will click the thumbs down button and mark that my reason for doing so is that I find the content to be offensive. Yet, even if I do this multiple times, I will still receive this advertisement over and over. I understand that I have free Spotify and this means ads, and that I can't always control them. Does the 'this content is offensive' button not actually do anything? If so, why is it there in the first place?

I agree I dislike political ads and they keep playing them no matter what reason I put stop playing them if someone dislikes them.

Get the political adds off they are one sided no matter what you are registered as

All the advertising I see is political and there is a thumbs up and down button but they don’t work. Need to get rid of all the political advertising or put on both sides not just one.

Me too. I think they play ads you down vote to get you to subscribe. I’ve switched to pandora but I have a huge playlist on Spotify.

Thumbs down not working on an advertisement

I gave a thumbs down on a specific advertisement about a podcast about scary stories but it's been continuously showing up for the past hour. How can I make this work? I selected the option that I find it unpleasant but it's still showing up -- and it's the only advertisement showing up. This is really getting annoying.

I wouldn't be surprised if the like and dislike buttons are swapped. Disliking an ad being "Oh, you want more of this kind of ad" and Liking ad being "Oh, you don't like this kind of ad".

If someone dislikes an ad, then the ad should stop playing and be replaced by something different.

If an ad is liked, it's ok to keep playing it.

I keep getting gambling ads, and use downvote on both web player and mobile to try discourage these. It does nothing and I continue to get the same vile ads. I've selected all of "irrelevant", "offensive", "unpleasant" etc. and nothing has an effect for several days now.

I've heard the annoying ad for Trillion Dollar Shot a trillion times. I've disliked it about a dozen times. I still keep hearing it. Please, please, please (a trillion pleases) make it stop. Thank you.

Having this problem now. Since I disliked, it's the only ad that is playing on my Spotify. Really loud and triggering. If this is some ploy to get me to buy premium, it's not working. Really don't wanna use spotify anymore if it keeps acting like this.

I had this problem too for an ad about beer I feel like it's on purpose and that the only solution is to pay but I won't

Même pub tout le temps

LUCASYOU — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 18:54:12 GMT

Bonjour, je ne trouve pas sa normal que j’ai tout le temps la même pub par exemple j’écoute une musique une pub (vu que j’ai à abonnement gratuit) et après j’écoute une autre musique bam la même pub pas de variation. Je ne vous ment pas en 30 minute j’ai du avoir 5-4 fois la même pub je ne vous raconte pas comment c’est agassant. Je veux bien avoir un abonnement gratuit mais tout de même faire un effort. Question au autres utilisateurs est ce que vous aussi ?
