Well the ads are there to support the unlimited free music they're giving you, so you can't complain too much.
On the adware front - the app doesn't auto-run, doesn't self install, is easy to uninstall and doesn't show ads when it isn't running. So it bares little resemblance to the adware of the 90s.
With all that said though - I shouldn't imagine they care very much about having non-paying customers 'by the balls' I would expect they care much more about those that pay.
- pierrefar 16y agoAll good points. My argument is based on user experience. Both spotify and the 90s adware are on the wrong side of the line separating "understandably has ads" and "annoyingly has ads". No doubt that spotify is closer to the line compared to 90s adware.
