I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.
I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy…
So they’re actively working to block ad blockers, showing more ads, and bundling the ad free version with a worse version of Spotify—a no-win scenario.
The Google’s breakup can’t happen fast enough.
