Spotify Premium Users Are Still Hearing Ads, but Spotify Has a Fix In...
1 min read
Summary
Spotify has once again fixed the recurring issue of premium users having to listen to ads, however, there is speculation this could reoccur as it hasn’t been effectively permanently resolved.
The issue began in February with the company initially claiming the problem had been resolved.
Continued reports from users forced the company to address the issue once more, suggesting a resync by logging in and out of the app.
It is unclear why this issue recurred and speculation has arisen that it could be a precursor to a premium tier restructure, with advertisements potentially being introduced to the premium service, and a completely advert-free tier becoming a higher subscription option.
The issue has affected users globally despite Spotify’s 40 million tracks being in excess of what the company believes would require such a restructure.
