I wouldn’t call them ads at all. The Spotify Duo notification comes up whenever handoff between two devices doesn’t work. I assume Spotify thinks I’m sharing an account or something. Quite unlike YT serving YT premium ads right after an ad break. The “new release” notifications have always been spot on for me. Possible that some artists pay to be extra prominent. Unless their recommendation engine is misbehaving again.

>Possible that some artists pay to be extra prominent. So it's paid-for advertising?

potato - potato Some people say Microsoft doesn't have ads in Windows. Which is technically correct based on your reasoning - they only promote their own products and services (haven't seen a "meet singles in your area" ad in the Windows Start menu yet).

  They put random games full of IAPs on the search bar, so I wouldn't say it's that comparable.

  Not the same. Their recommendation engine is part of core offering. When system tries to learn what you like more to offer similar music - this is by all means not an ad. A car seat is not an ad for seats.

these are not notifications for artists I genuinely care about these are popup advertisements to nag me into listening to music I don't care about only so that record labels can make more money
