My Question or Issue
where can i find now the new releases notifications from the artists that i'm following?
my premium account continues to be filled with advertisement of bands and artists that i'm not following, and now even my recent play list is infected with hideous albums and musics that i never played. sometimes i even get splash advertisement on the start of the android app. both windows client and android apps are filled with ads on all my devices on a paid premium account. this feels like a fraud!
Hello @Paulgi,
that's really weird indeed, and not quite the experience anyone wants to have with the app.
However I never experienced this on myself, nor someone of my friends did.
There could be a couple of reasons why you getting songs you don't like in these sections.
I'll try to point out the reasons and maybe the solutions you can try to get the recommendations you want.
About the question for the new releases from the artists you follow, I always enjoy my release radar on Fridays. For example, I have followed around 2k artists and I always have like 130+ songs in my radar. You can find almost every new song from the artists you'd followed there.
Possible solutions you can try:
Sorry for the long reply, and appreciate for reading it. It'd be very nice if some of these tips come in handy for you. Happy listening!
i never listen to radios or collaborative playlists, i only listen to full albums from individual bands or artists and not compilations.
no friend or family is listening to my account. my account is private and no one have access to my computer or phone. i can't imagine anyone hacking my devices just to play some lame musics in order to mess with my account 😄
i never click on shared links to spotify before i know exactly what i'm going to listen to. and even knowing it's extremely rare to happen. less than 1 time per year.
i have thousands of songs in my playlists, i usually add dozens every day.
i don't listen to radios not in spotify nor elsewhere.
i'm following hundreds of artists and my list is clean and neat.still, i get this kind of pop up ads from time to time when launching spotify.
i never played those things marked in red.
I have spotify connected to my last fm account on all my devices, so I know for sure that those weird things never played in my account. it's just forced advertisement trash on a premium account. like the trash from bands that i never followed but still appear on "discover new releases for you". all forced advertisement.
today spotify service became even worst.
now if i leave my desktop application open but not playing, after some time it starts automatically playing the most horrendous music i ever heard. things that i never ever even put in any of my playlist.
spotify is turning into a pure fraud. horible stupid service.
i'm paying and i have the service filled with ads and now this stupid thing even forces horrible promotional themes to automatically play.
Hey @Paulgi
My listening habits are pretty much the same as yours. The thing that I have noticed is that sometimes when the album is finnished, Spotify starts to play music that they think is similar to the album/artist that I just listened. At the same time it is very good and very annoying feature, only because sometimes the new music is very good but sometimes that is horrible. And yes, I have had the same thing that Spotify succests music that I would never listen.
my account is still filled with trash everywhere, i lost the notifications from the artists i'm following and now when i pause my player it starts playing all kinds junk from hideous bands.
this feels like a huge fraud to me. spotify is billing me for a premimum account and injecting me with ads all day. i wonder what the point of the stupid premium account now.
