  It’s both, it’s an ad plus a since you like X, try Y.

  One thing very harmful that may come from this, is that they can use this system as well in the auto-play feature, so artists who pay more to Spotify will be auto-played more when you’re listening to music.

  Afaik is not happening yet, but it will.

  If there is any company that can do personalized ads for music then it is Spotify. It’s what they are best at, why would they skip that opportunity?
