Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding - Lemmy.World

Every single time I use Spotify, after the first advert it says to enjoy the next 30 minutes ad free. Then after a 2 minute long song, I get 5 minutes of adverts ๐Ÿ˜‘. Every single time

why donโ€™t you have an adblocker? I havenโ€™t seen / heard an ad on one of my devices in 15 years.
Itโ€™s mostly for my android phone while Iโ€™m at work.

If youโ€™re on iPhone, SOL or use Spotify web with brave browser (in-built ad blocker).

If youโ€™re on Android plenty of APKs thatโ€™ll disable ads and make you โ€˜premiumโ€™

Thereโ€™s no reason to trust random APKs for stuff like this anymore when Revanced exists to let you build the APK yourself right on your phone with only the patches you want. Highly recommend!

I prefer my phone with malware, so I know Iโ€™m not alone
I havenโ€™t considered this point before. Currently clicking on every sketchy ad I see.

I second the other user recommending revanced and also would like to throw in spotx-bash fix for the desktop spotify app ad removal.

i donโ€™t use apple products but it works on everything else

Look into NextDNS. It can block ads systemwide on your device.
