Access to spotify free tier is not a human right, it's quite easy to just not use it

Exactly. I use an ad blocker (usually I disable it when a site asks nicely, but I turn it right back on if their ads are intrusive) but I don't get the sense of entitlement that seems to come with ad blocking for some people. If I want to use an ad blocker, that's my right; if a service wants to block me for it, that's theirs.

Access to my site that tries to inject your pc with malware isn't a human right either.

Nobody said it is. It's your choice to use the service.
