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
Also there’s not a single struggling artist who could afford it!! I know some VERY successful dance music producers that are known all around the world and their income has been gutted by streaming. They have to tour twice as much now to make up for it. One of them told me in almost tears about how much harder it is to pay bills and how they have to constantly release music on vinyl to help make ends meet. One of their friends and also mega producer moved his family from the UK to Romania just so that they could have a more affordable life.
What homepage? My internet is curated to be ad-free as much as possible. My homepage is a blank slate of bookmarks. I pay extra for hulu, youtube, and spotify, and a few podcasters to get an ad-free experience.
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.
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 have no idea what point you’re trying to make here. If I’m paying for no ads - that means NO FUCKING ADS
Not “just a little bit of ads”.
NO. SPONSORED. CONTENT. It’s that hard of a concept.
If a company doesn’t offer a ad-free experience, I pirate. Those are my rules and I will stick to them with my last dying breath.
As soon as I figure out a good way to migrate my playlists over to youtube music, spotify is done.
You know what doesn’t show me sponsored shit when I open it up?
Youtube music. Tidal. Deezer.
