Comment on Anon gets scammed
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoHe was scammed of his time watching the long ad that promised ad free 30 min. The revenue Spotify gets from advertising companies is only there because users listen to those ads, so users are also providing a service to Spotify.
Not that big of a stretch.

It also comes down to whether or not it’s reasonable to expect to be able to access streaming media for free. You are making a choice: listen to advertisements, or pay the subscription.

That they already agreed to when listening to the ad that promised 30min ad free. I agree with you conceptually though. The scam is not on ads showing up, it’s on the subversion of expectations. They were told X and it didn’t happen, it’s normal to feel scammed.
