Annoying advertising

Annoying advertising

Lately spotify app on windows has gotten me so **bleep**ing mad, I don't know if I'm the only one who has these problems:
1.  Excess of ads: When I first downloaded spotify it used to play an audio advertisement about every seven songs, but it was only one, not five or six continous ads like it's happening since the last year.
2. Useless ads: The ads that spotify used to be played were about upgrading to spotify premium, nowadays we hear goverment ads, cellphone ones or whatever, but it doesn't botter that much, THE WORST ONES ARE ABOUT THE MUSIC WE HATE THE MOST!!! Or we just don't like. Spotify app knows very well which music we like. I know one of spotify goals is to help to users to discover brand new music, but I think playing these five or six ads together about the artist we never look for it's not the right way.
3. One thing that I was happy about spotify it was that never open pop-ads on it's own, now IT'S **bleep**ING HAPPENING!!! It doesn't have to do that, spotify it was suposed not to be an adware.
4. If you upgrade to spotify premium you'll forget about ads forever... IT'S A TRAP!!! It's as fake as santa claus comming to town! I had spotify premium about six months and yes, audio ads disappeared, but not banners and that was one of the reasons I got back to spotify free... the other reason it was personal.

That's my experience with spotify and ads, I'm about to sign off forever if it keeps working the same way.... So how it has been yours?

All of my Premium family accounts are complaining today about "Infuriating ads" from the Windows (10 and 11), Firefox, Chrome, and Edge players.  And all of my family accounts are cursing at me for saying that "I will force Spotify to work right" for my family again and again and again  . . . .
