Spotify Ads
There's loads more now isn't there? Like every two songs? Can anyone confirm this?
Obviously an increase in (pretty poorly executed) adverts is detrimental to the listening experience but it begs the question - if you are recieving something for free can you complain about worsening 'customer service'?
Not sure whether this is true or not to be honest
but those god damn Hard Fi Becks beer ads can fuck right off. Do they have any clue how stupid they sound? "Uh, we just thought it was a good opportunity to get a message out there, so you know, people walk into a bar and see these beers that say 'Love music hate racism' on them and they think, 'Hey, what's this?'". I hope they got paid a lot of money for that crap (ditto Ladyhawke), 'cause I know that if I wasn't already completely indifferent to their band I sure as hell would be now.
Good grief. What kind of shit slogan is that anyway, that 'Love music hate racism'? Is there meant to be a choice between the two? Hard Fi and Ladyhawke, or racism?... uh, tell me about racism again?...
as has been noted before, what fucks me off is that they're SO LOUD.
nothing is worse than falling asleep to some nice quiet music, only to have BAM BAM 25% AUSTRALIAN INSIDE YOU waking you up again.
totally agree
i dont mind the adverts in principle, i mean i get the service for free so...
BUT i am sick of the Becks music inspired art ones which i hear ALL DAY (i only really listen to spotufy at work) literally one after the other, I mean seriosly who fucking cares about Hard Fi - they are pretty much one of the worst bands ever - and i really couldnt care less about a playlist of their influences.
'Yeah the last time i was in a bar all they had were Becks and you could just see them all lined up and yellow it looked so cool..' SHUTUP
actually
i've noticed less recently. it seemed to increase to the frequency you're describing a few weeks ago but its dropped back down again now.
As a bit of an aside...
The company I work for is going to make a Spotify advert for Christmas shopping, what do we need to do to not come across as really fucking annoying to everyone like the Becks adverts?
Make the advert silent.
classic bamnan
Tiresome.
I love the way it's impossible to talk about free streaming or downloads without some fucking analog mouthbreather crying into his HMV vouchers because you're not meeting the strict moral code of music purchasing. SOB SOB I WANT TO PAY FOR LILY ALLEN'S CAB FARE BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT. SHE WROTE THE FEAR NOT YOU. MUSIC COSTS MONEY TO MAKE. I JUST LOVE HAVING THE ARTWORK LOL.
I'm not though am I? You spastic.
listening through the adverts is essentially the payment you are making...
to listen to the songs 'for free'.
The adverts are awful, but to be honest most of the adverts are for Spotify...'go premium please'...'we've got this exclusive album, go premium please'...'I'll suck your dick man, just go premium please'. Either that or you get some stupid tosser banging on about how he's just discovered the Spice Girls and Mozart.
But for those of us who use Spotify every day, be thankful that they might (just might though) be having more adverts that are not Spotify's own (however awful), because without that outside advertising it will disappear just as quickly as it came around.
