Feature : Allow users to toggle the "announcements" banner from displaying on desktop and mobile
As a Fully Paid Spotify User
I want the ability to turn off the announcement banner
So that I don't see advertisements for music I am interested in or not interested in.
-----------
Story : Users are subjected to a banner in the desktop app which is named "announcements" but can be perceived as an advert. If a user pays for an account they should not get such "announcements". Paid users should have this disabled by default, but have the ability to turn it on if they want.
Story : Despite spotify crunching (at great cost) user data to determine what users listen to, it still advertises new albums of artists they do not listen to, this should not happen to paid users.
---------------------
Scenario : It should not show the announcement banner to paid users
Given a paid user has logged in to spotify on the desktop app successfully
And they are navigated to the home screen by default
When the home screen loads successfully
Then the user should not see a banner at the top of the home screen
Scenario : It should be possible to turn on the announcement banner with a toggle
Scenario : It should toggle between "off" or "on" for the announcement toggle
Scenario : It should only show artists of interest to the user if the paid user toggles the toggle to the on position
Scenario : It should have the announcement toggle options / section in the users language
Scenario : It should have a tool tip that explains the announcement banner impact has to the interface(honestly)
Scenario : It should toggle the "announcement toggle" to "off by default"
Scenario : It should grey out / not be optional to turn off the announcement banner if the user account is not a paid for account
Hi @wilsonjg,
