Hey folks!

Just a follow-up here 🙂

Regarding the in-app messages with a 'Sponsored Recommendation' tag:

You’ll see them for artists you follow or listen to a lot and they will only appear when you first navigate to Home. They won’t interrupt your music listening experience. 

Opting out of them is possible for Premium subscribers. To do so -  tap on What's this? the next time you receive a notification. From there you can stop them from showing for the artist you've received the notification from, or stop them showing altogether. 
 
Regarding the in-app concert recommendations:

It is not possible to turn off in-app concert recommendations (or any other in-app messages in general), unlike email and push notifications which are sent outside of the app and can be turned off. We're making improvements on this matter.

Hope this clears things up!

Does this turn off ads?

[Ncg94]

Yes! Recommendations are ads

I would highly consider changing this - forcing additional friction to turn off to his ads to premium users is a textbook dark pattern. Making the toggle available in the iOS version without additional steps would be a good sign.

I would like an option to remove artist-paid suggestions. These suggestions frequently appear from artists I am not regularly listening to, and it seems that there is no to block or remove these sponsored ads (also, they aren't even transparently labelled as "sponsored"). These take up priority space on the home page of the web app, and are degrading my user experience. Please add an option to remove these suggestions; this is on a premium account.
