Every single time I use Spotify, after the first advert it says to enjoy the next 30 minutes ad free. Then after a 2 minute long song, I get 5 minutes of adverts 😑. Every single time

Edit: using mutify now, thank you everyone!

      Those arent spotify ads, they’re the ads from the podcast. To my knowledge unless its a “spotify exclusive” all they are doing is fetching the RSS feed for you, not paying the creator anything regardless of your subscription status

      And now they’re showing locked episodes, which drives me up the fucking wall. Seems to only be with all the podcasts that SirusXM is buying up as of late, which unfortunately make up a good chunk of what I listen to.

        Yes! And the most annoying thing is if I add to My Episodes by accident, it’s impossible to remove.

      I feel the same about youtube. I pay for premium, but sometimes creators bake in their own ads. I wish youtube would pay creators enough so they wouldn’t have to do it.

        Use sponsorblock on YouTube for desktop or smarttube on Android tv

        Sponsors often pay significantly more than YouTube. If YouTube were to match or exceed it they’d be losing money absurdly fast.
