Spotify takes aim at ad blockers

08 February 2019
The company will terminate any account that is blocking the ads between tracks.

Sort by:

just get good firewall(even mobile) and add ad list to your router blacklist. the end. I use it for years and I block bunch of popular ad sites(like google ads or ad sense) and those ads will not even reach your device/browser...

    Dont be confused, here SoundCloud

        Forced ads = no use. Realistically, I don't care that you're losing money. If you don't allow ad blockers, then I have other better choices. Simple as that.

          Never seen any ads on my Spotify, but I'm also subscribed.

                      Ads can be done in a far better less annoying way! It is because ads are so extremely annoying that most of us use adblockers! Advertisers steal our money by using up our data limits! Belief in "ads" are wrong because most of us start hating products that popup as annoying ads! I never use free Spotify because the ads makes it unbearable, but paid Spotify is too expensive because in the long run it is far cheaper to buy, not just rent, the music I like/want!

                        Joe, 08 Feb 2019People who block ads while surfing the web or anything must... moreMany times, it's the ads which are displayed first instead of the content/web when entering a website. If I wanted to see ads, I could watch them on TV. Plus, ads take data as well, so I'd rather have my data being used for useful things instead of intrusive ads.

                          Had to make a decision last year to go with a paid Spotify account or Google Play Music, and I went with the latter. Google Play Music comes with YouTube Premium, YT Music app, and offers a MUCH better bang for your buck. Very easy choice.

                            I don't use it or any other streaming app, so no loss to me.

                                  Who needs Spotify nowadays? I myself who have over 1k and increasing over time of collection will only feel little to no benefit from that service, and besides there's always radio for free service
