For almost two weeks, Spotify Premium subscribers have been reporting issues seeing and hearing ads. While their subscriptions are still active, and their payment details are fine. Spotify became aware of this a few days ago and has now resolved the issue.
According to Spotify, users experiencing this issue will experience an immediate change. For free users, ads will be maintained while for Premium users – ads will still be present when listening to podcasts. Spotify did not specify what type of ads, it is most likely ads from within podcasts by the content creator themselves.
This is not the first time Spotify Premium subscribers have experienced this issue. However, the recent issue is one of the most viral and has become a topic of conversation. Hopefully, if this happens again, Spotify can replace it with a limited free subscription and not just make a statement – what do you think?
