Oh Spotify does not have ad free music and there is no subscription level that makes Spotify music free of advertisements.

They hunt me with banners and popups for random musicians almost every day.

What they provide is an ad free music "listening experience", meaning: it is not audio ads. It's a really sneaky and toxic product in that way.

Couldn’t agree more. Enshittification as a symptom of (hopefully) late stage ~~cancer~~ capitalism.
