    Imagine paying for spotify to get rid of ads to end up having ads in another form

      I expect “ads” for new music on the music listening and discovery platform.

      Y’all are making it seem like these are nordvpn ads on your homepage. Fuck off with this disingenuous comparison

        I don’t expect any ads of any form when you pay for a service. The artists who pay the most will shows on the homepage, I don’t understand how any listener would like that

          By homepage I was referring to the main screen that Spotify loads into, the default view of all your playlists, recommended lists, etc.

          And I expect all the same things you expect for my regular browsing behavior. But on the music discovery and listening platform I don’t get pissy when new music is shown to me, even if it’s unrelated to my tastes.

      The spotify home page is like the youtube trending page. I don’t care about it, never look at it, and it doesn’t get in my way. It’s really not a big deal. If this helps to keep the price down, great!
