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 are always the product when you do not own physical or digital non-DRMed copies of your media.

    If you can’t reliably and repeatedly play your music in the middle of nowhere 50 miles away from any internet signal, you are the product. Download MP3s and take your music back.

    And people on the lemmy.world instance wonder why we fight for the right to talk about piracy.
