Every single time I use Spotify, after the first advert it says to enjoy the next 30 minutes ad free. Then after a 2 minute long song, I get 5 minutes of adverts 😑. Every single time

Edit: using mutify now, thank you everyone!

    This is one service I pay for and never had had to worry about ads. I can skip around, download and work it just like my offline music with no differences

      Yeah, the complaining about spotify’s free tier is something I just don’t get. I grew up listening to the goddamn radio. No choice in what to listen to and ads all the time. But when your jam came on, it felt great every time.

      I’m on a family plan with some friends. I’ve discovered a ton of new music because of Spotify. I’ve gone to many shows, bought merch, vinyls, for bands I never would’ve known had it not been for Spotify.

      I’m just not sure what people want, but it reeks of entitlement. If you’re gonna pirate music, by all means, go to town. Nobody cares.

      How many AI songs you have tho? Spotify has other ways to make money for itself and its cronies, namely by shoving fake generated music that big lables own down your playlist so the big label cartel gets more profit.

        Probably not that many since I carefully curate my list and generally only listen to local artists or international that I’m familiar with.

        Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.

        Yeah, your right. uBlock Origin block advertisement on the browser. However, Spicetify blocks advertisement within the desktop app and allows for multiple add-ons/ extension plus customizing your entire app.

        I used to get so annoyed at the auto correct to ducking but after a niece and nephew were introduced as variables I’ve found ducking the most effective sentence enhancer that doesn’t provoke a parent teacher conference for my brother lol

      Or SpotX for Windows, you just paste and run a powershell command line.

    why don’t you have an adblocker? I haven’t seen / heard an ad on one of my devices in 15 years.

    It’s a trap. Its been that way as long as I can remember. If any music service offers a longer ad for uninterrupted music, don’t do it.

    Use spotube or simpmusic. Its not like spotify actually pays their artists jackshit. Just make sure to send small artists a few bucks if you really like their stuff
