I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a "sponsored recommendation".

Why am I seeing ads if I'm already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

Yeah, that’s not happening. I can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars a month for music. I’m going to continue using Spotify because at the end of the day it’s not my responsibility to determine how much the artists get paid. There’s a bunch of problems I care about, this isn’t one of them.

Well at least you're honest about not caring about the artists.

Edit: but you could make a point of buying a couple albums per month if you listen to that much music.

I generally buy merch from the small bands I like, and the rest are multimillionaires already.

While I listen to a wide variety of music, it tends to be popular music from a wide range of times where they’ve already made a lot from it.

But also, yes, there’s a level of convenience I’m not willing to give up. When an artist pulls their music from Spotify, I tend to just not listen to them, through no fault of their own, but it’s where I listen to everything else.

I’m trying YouTube music out since it’s theoretically a bit better and I already pay for YouTube premium.
