"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
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!? 😑
You're viewing a single thread.
I'd love to leave streaming services and roll my own server, but I rely on things like the Release Radar and song radios for discovery and just haven't been able to find a self-hosted solution for that.
I don't want to have to plan out the music I'm going to listen to, I just want to dive in.
I use the Spotify data via Every Noise at Once (https://everynoise.com/research.cgi?mode=name&name=) to gather band suggestions, but it is an annoying amount of work compared to having a script that sees all of my music and makes a playlist of 20+ songs using that data for me. Have not found a solution for that.
