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!? ๐Ÿ˜‘

You are also the product coz they keep raping your data and selling it to advertisers on other platforms.

Use blackhole or newpipe

I haven't subscribed to Spotify for quite some time, have they added proper 2FA feature (not for artists)? I think it's been "under consideration" for a long time

Shit like this is why monopolies and oliglopolies don't work. I hope people complain AND jump ship in big enough droves for this to change. Self-hosting and the old fashioned "buy your own music permanently" option are good too.

I don't use streaming services, I just buy MP3's (or AAC's on iTunes or whatever they're using nowadays, it's been a while) and keep them locally and on the cloud. Never liked most Streaming Services' recommendations anyway.

Mp3s are fortunately in a really good place with them being DRM free. Was why when Google Music shut down I was still able to download my music purchases and keep them for myself. It's one of more widespread consumer friendly digital options out there compared to all the DRM and account based digital options that exist for other products.

Tidal is a good alternative. Will have to go elsewhere for podcasts, though.

The biggest bullshit...

Spotify Exclusive Podcasts also contain sound ads here in germany. For me it was a reason to unsubscribe as i don't listen anymore to so much new music and have a own catalog of music from past.

I have around 5000 songs in a playlist. Anyone got an idea of how to migrate them to just local .mp3 files or something?

Any sailor worth his salt needs spend a few seasons earning his sea legs before he can begin to call to claim any understanding of the sea.

AKA, There is no easy way. It will lots of time and manual labor to find all the individual files in your Playlist.

the synonymes entry in the english language for "ads" is expanding everyday

[โ€“] HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I never understand this. Is someone paying for spotify to push their music on people?

Is this like the new mlm scheme where artists have to pay spotify first so the algorithm prioritizes their songs so they can earn that same money back?
