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!? 😑

    I never understand this. Is someone paying for spotify to push their music on people?

    Is this like the new mlm scheme where artists have to pay spotify first so the algorithm prioritizes their songs so they can earn that same money back?

      The screenshot literally says “sponsored recommendation”. Not sure how much more clear it can be that somebody paid money for that.
