Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

I never understand this. Is someone paying for spotify to push their music on people? Is this like the new mlm scheme where you have to pay spotify first so the algorithm prioritizes your songs so you can earn that same money back?

The screenshot literally says “sponsored recommendation”. Not sure how much more clear it can be that somebody paid money for that.

I ment to say I don’t get why anyone would pay for that.
Artist are trying to get paid for people listening on Spotify, not the other way around.
I guess It’s like advertising your product on amazon so people buy from you not others, but somehow it feels stupid when you think about it in the context of a music streaming service.

Well, spins the first week can lead to having a BB100 or BB200 track/album.
That kind of thing is important for the legs of an album/track.
