Wait... "limited ads"? Are there still some ads with Spotify Premium?

[–] ADTJ@feddit.uk 13 points 9 months ago

No, some podcasts still have sponsors embedded in the content but that's not Spotify themselves.

I have not seen any.

The songs you listen to when you are listening on random are often ads. Record companies will do "pay for placement" deals to get songs and artists they promote out there.

They used to call it payola when it was on the radio and it was illegal.
