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!? 😑

    could you explain why you think spotify is built around recommending music moreso than playing music?

      Because tons of apps play music and Spotify recommends music?

        spotify not being based around playing music because other services also play music is definitely one of the takes of all time

          See when you sell a product, you come up with what’s called a “features/benefits list” and this list should differentiate you from competitors

          Kind of an important part of launching a product.

            that’s cool and all but not on the topic of “what is spotify based around”
