Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

[Steven P. Administrators]

I got this notification just now in Android:

So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management:

But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications?

I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?

Spotify really have turned in to a butthole of a company. Assuming this isn't a bug then this is a low act for Premium users.

Honestly, YT Premium which includes YT Music is a genuine alternative.

In any event, the internet enshitification continues unabated...next up, the banning of VPN's.
