Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers

It does work, I just did on my app, swiping right will show an icon to add to queue on the left side of the track, slide it until it's green.

The iPhone app is not Electron, it's a native app.

This appears to only work for songs, this action does not work for podcasts or playlists. Wow! What bad engineering culture, likely only caring about what's in the ticket and not the feature overall. I guess this is what happens to a product after spending a decade only hiring people who can do leetcode.

There's no leetcode interviewing at Spotify as far as I know.
