When I first downloaded Spotify, it was great! I loved it! Almost a half hour of music, then maybe one or two short commercials, then back to the music. As time went on, the commercial breaks became more frequent - and longer. Now, a year in, it's gotten to the point of ridiculousness. You'll get one or two songs, then anywhere from 4 to 6 commercials, then one or two songs again, then back to the commercials - and they are the same commercials over, and over, and over again. Btw, they are the most annoying commercials you've ever heard. I'm not stupid. I know it's a ploy to force you to start paying for the "commercial free" service (Get you hooked in the beginning, then switch it up to be annoying until you PAY).
Well, I don't pay for anything that I can get for free elsewhere. Apparently very few businesses want to advertise on Spotify, because, as I said, it's the same few commercials continuously repeated - thus Spotify apparently -desperately- NEEDS that subscriber money. My guess is, they charge too much for businesses to want to advertise with them.
If Spotify would work on their pricing, get businesses to advertise, then went back to playing 5 to 7 songs in a row with just a few commercials, it would be far more palatable. It wouldn't be the same as a radio station, as you can make your own play list with Spotify. Spotify could offer either commercial free, for a monthly membership, or free, WITH 'regular' commercial breaks. Until they figure that out, they're just going to suck in my opinion. Anyway, instead of falling for their bait and switch ploy, at first, I would just hit the mute button during the commercial breaks, when they were only sporadic, but when they went to playing way more repeat commercials than music, I had no desire to continue listening to spotify. I'm not getting hooked into a monthly membership fee, as I only listened to it if I were mowing grass, or working in the garage. With that, I've gone back to my local radio stations. They play the same genre of music I like, with FAR less commercisls OR coersion. The only drawback is, I can't make my own playlist. If you're just jumping on Spotify, enjoy it, because it's gonna change, and you're gonna hate it. If you're like me, and refuse to pay for something you can get for free elsewhere, just stick to your regular radio stations, and steer clear of Spotify.

Spotify account got hacked from a place far away (im in Oxford, attack was from Instabul, dont know anyone remotely from there, treated as an anon cyberattack).

Customer service did nothing but sweetalking me into dissapointment, while all I was asking during my panic is to send me over the IPs that my own account has logged in to figure out where the attack was from (at this point I didnt know who was attacking from where).

Spotify delayed af and as a result the attacker logged in my profile page the next and got ahold of my gmail/card details and tried to invade both gmail/online banking account. Thankfully there are some proper companies out there that know what 2-step verification is and informed me about the attack AS WELL AS providing the location of the attack (then I learned it was from Instabul).

Had Spotify bothered to protect their customer RATHER THAN THE ATTACKER (customer service guy actually told me to contact the law enforcement to get that info, lol really? I though IP logins in MY ACCOUNT are my own property anyways regardless of which device logged in), I would know one day earlier that this is not a friend trolling but a legitimate cyberattack, allowing to move quicker in locking everything else.

Had Spotify bother to listen to their community maybe this attack would've never been achieved. This is what you believe as of last August

*******@ThomasVH we've revisited this idea with the teams behind logging into Spotify. We've decided not to move forward with two-factor authentication at this time.

If you're interested in security, we do have some tips to protect your Spotify account here. Of course if our status on this changes we will let you all know right here. Thanks!)

Before you prompt me into a survey on why I will be permanently ending my subscription once I set up my library properly on another service, the post above pretty much sums it up.

Thanks

Great service and plenty of songs to choose from

Excellent service for music listening.
