Boycotting Spotify Until Removal of Vulgar Commercials

[ritianfitchett]

Today I started getting spammed with this ad for "A.P. Bio". Every commercial break it plays 2-3 times in a row for the entirety of the commercial break. I don't typically mind ads that much but this commercial has disgusting and vulgar content, and I'm sick of it. Spotify is one of the only major ad platforms left that doesn't give me the ability to flag commercials or block inappropriate commercials. If nothing changes, I'll just go back to pirating all of my music, which is worse for everyone.

Hi @ritianfitchett!

Thanks for posting on the Community about this. Spotify didn't intend to cause any offence and they take this issue very seriously. I have escalated this with the internal teams at Spotify to ensure that this content is reviewed and the appropriate actions are applied and if nessasary pulled from the platform. The information you've provided so far is amazing and will help with the investigation

To assist the teams who will investigate this ad could you let me know if you were listening to a playlist for example like 'All Night Dance Party' by Spotify and any idea what time and date that you heard this ad and what the advert said.

Thanks!
