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!? 😑

    It feels like they did it on purpose, because the main reason I actually pay for Spotify is because it generally is actually pretty good at recommending songs based on other songs I’ve checked the like box on, and I was able to find new music that didn’t completely suck balls.

    This shuffle feature doesn’t seem to use the same algorithm. It just shuffles in artists that are currently popular and may have paid for the bump.
