I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    Me listening to Joe Rogan in my car:

    “This episode is brought to you by Athletic …”

    “Aaaargh! I pay Spotify! They gave you eight and eight figure contract! Why the fuck are there ads??”

        The little I’ve seen of Joe seems like this:

        Some rich guy you’ve never heard of: “So, umm, yeah, I’ve been trying this new form of yoga.”

        Joe: hits blunt and drinks something harmful “Oh yeah?”

        Guy 1: burp “Yeah, and it’s really opened my eyes and shit, y’know?”

        Joe: “Oh really?”

        (This but for who knows how long).
