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!? 😑

    The Wikipedia article says “payola” is an illegal practice and that text links to “commercial bribery” - so are they starting to get bribed into doing stuff like this too even though it’s a paid service? That “they want all the money” statement must go deeper than I thought.
