One could argue these modals would be considered promotional / recommendation of content rather than an advertisement. That aside, the Spotify ToS states "In any part of the Spotify Service, the Content that you access, including its selection and placement, may be influenced by commercial considerations, including Spotify's agreements with third parties." which I suspect covers recommendations.
- speeder 4y agoThe "it is not ad, it is recommendation" thing is just pissing me off even more. A lot of companies now pulling that stunt. For example I bought a TV that has a good OLED panel. That TV outright had shown me popups while I am using it, "recommending" I install specific apps or watch new season of a specific TV show. And it is "recommendations" because on the EULA I said I don't agree with ads.
- austinjp 4y agoJeez that's hideous. A tip I've picked up from HN: buy a monitor to use for visual media instead of a "TV". Set-top boxes and PVRs should plug straight in. I've not actually done this yet, but when my old TV dies I'll either live without, or follow this tip.
- speeder 4y agoProblem is they charge through the nose for these. I looked into it, the price was just ridiculous and unrealistic.
