Spotify not letting me skip ads on laptop

Spotify isn't letting me skip ads on my laptop, even thought I can skip them just fine when I'm listening to Spotify on my phone. This has been an issue for 2 weeks now.

Spotify just recently removed the hability to skip ads entirely. This made me go back to piracy, and problably would not return until something is made. I used the desktop version since 2016 and back then we where able to skip ads, then they added the five seconds with 3 ads one after the other, and now recently we can't skip ads at all. For this reason i'm leaving for good. I'm from an third world country where this is barely affordable if anyone say "just buy premium". F**k Off.

Stop, its not your device that is the problem.

Spotify did this deliberately so they can force people into buying Premium. They removed free features for this reason since 2016, so you go on and spend money. I stopped using Spotify because of this and now using other methods to “collect” song if you know what I mean, and I’m happy that when one song ends I will not hear any annoying ads anymore.
