Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers

Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer.
I’m using Tidal, but i can’t say i really like it. They seem to randomly decide what songs and artists are not available, and their search function is really bad.

I used Tidal for a few months, then found out it had silently removed ~10% of my music from my “liked” list. Completely unacceptable. They should at least keep a list of titles so I can go back and fix it. People say all services do this, but I’ve been keeping an eye on it and Spotify hasn’t done it since I hopped back.

Qobuz was painful to use and new music discovery was hopeless. No idea if they were removing tracks too.

Bandcamp seems cool, but I prefer to listen to music via song-based-radios, so that’s a no go.

Not sure what I’ll do if I have to drop Spotify again over ads.
