Advertisements and premium.

[Jukes]

I'm sick of this poor treatment. People would go premium if spotify wasn't so crappy about what they did. Not everyone has the extra money to spend on a music service, when there are other free methods. I use spotify, because it was much better when i started using it. It didn't force 6 ads in a row down my throat, with purposely annoying ads to make people buy premium. Example: Cats playing ping pong. "Dont wanna hear our annoying ads? Buy premium" ----- Words by spotify themselves. This makes me not want to even consider buying it, considering how crappy and low of a tactic that is,  that they would subjegate their free users to more and more ads in a row, and even make them actually annoying and headache inducing.. Hell, I hear more ads than music these days.  About to drop this service completely. People make tickets asking why we're getting 6 ads in a row, asking if it's a bug. Spotify says: Huh, that doesnt look right, we'll look into it. --- Next update, MORE ADS. Why not just call yourselves an ad service now? Rather than a music service. That's just plain bad. You literally crap all over your free users now. Don't claim to be free if you're not.

This is not a bug tho. Its just annoying ads. Literally saying we will play you annoying things until you buy premium.

Hello @malgamartheswif, Welcome to the community 🙂

When saying I was reporting the bug I was referring to their playing 6 ads in a row, not spotify advertisement campaign, which I am fairly confident is not to play 6 ads in a row, but rather just a way of reminding listeners that ads are annoying and can be removed by upgrading to premium 🙂

I am not a Spotify employee, just here to help 🙂

I hope this helped! 🙂

I am all for supporting artists but if your broke, you just cant, and spotify using blatant strong arms tactics to make you buy premium is so uncool...capitalisim at its best
