My Question or Issue

I pay for Spotify with the understanding that I never have to deal with ads but to me it feels as though Spotify has broken this promise by beginning to subtly and not so subtly put in ads for it own content with no option to remove it. This morning, I was hit with a startup banner message for four related playlist/podcast lists. Often, I'll see content that I would never listen to feature prominently in my home screen. I don't want this. I want the option to disable these popups and curated advertisements for Spotify content in my home screen and not have to be directed by content like this.

Hi there @1260162633,

 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

 

Spotify doesn't play ads that interrupt the music listening experience for Premium users. However, you can still see some Spotify promos as pop-ups within the app, but they'll only appear once and only when first opening the app. By tapping on Dismiss, further related pop-ups won't appear anymore, but you may still see some others regarding different topics.

 

However, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and we'll make sure to pass it on to the right folks.

 

If you need anything else, the Community is here for you.

 

Cheers.

Yes, I too believe this is an annoyance that premium users should be able to turn off.
