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

  Haven’t ads always been recommendations in some roundabout way? Regular ads are technically just a company recommending their own product/service to you (whether you need it or not).

  I mean, real life recommendations are more often than not that too. I mean, ones you get asking friends.

    I would bet that on Spotify most people discover music by listening to personalized generated playlists and not by waiting for ads to guide them. Have you ever used Spotify?
