Why does spotify now play videos????

[EloRazi]

This only adds to data charges

Its used as a way for them to play ads in their playlists, despite me paying for premium so I DONT HAVE TO HEAR ADS

Its a cool concept, but I wish there was a way to not have them. Like a setting to just not play videos. Its also really annoying that I'm paying money to avoid ads, but then they sneak them in. Like in the RapCaviar playlist, the rundown video is at its core just an advertisement. The Tee Grizzley video was straight up just an advertisment. When all i want is to just listen to music, these do not add anything at all. If I wanted to watch music videos I would go to youtube. Really the only options there are are to a) ignore it b) copy every song from that Spotify curated playlist into my own playlist without the videos or c) stop paying for premium and stop using spotify

Another (very) disappointed longtime premium user here.

At least we should be able to deactivate these videos.

Also Daily mixes have become a real pain to find (only 3-4 out of 6 are shown on the main screen).

So, go on with your so called innovations if you want/need to, but let us tweak the app as we like it.

Very annoying.

I play Spotify via Fire TV Cube. Since a few weeks some tracks are played as videos. Usually the videos are different from the original selected track from the playlist and sound awful. Why there is no chance to switch this off permanently. If I switch to audio the app forgets this setting when it's started next time.
