Sorry, didn’t realize you were referring to promos that Spotify runs for their content. Yeah I guess they don’t have a way to turn that off, but it’s a simple button to get past.
Also, fast forwarding really is not a big deal. While I’m out walking my dog and kiddo I just tap my ear buds twice and it fast forwards 15 seconds past the baked in ads in the podcast.
Oh god, I hate gesture-based earbuds. I painted over mine with clear nail polish because I’ve never once had them respond in such a way that I find helpful. Someone will invariably start yakking at me, then I have to remove an earbud, and they’ll skip tracks, power down, or do all kinds of crazy shit.
Regardless, it actually is a big deal to me that I’m having unwanted ads shoved in my face the moment I launch the app. That is not acceptable, and it’s disturbing that you seem to think it’s normal. I pay their supposedly “ad-free” plan to get ads? Fuck that.
