Spotify Warns Free Users with Ad Blockers Will Be Banned
#1
Quote:The latest update to Spotify’s Terms of Service includes a serious warning for free users who turned to gimmicks like ad blockers to listen to music online.

If you use anything like that to prevent ads from playing, your account may be terminated, Spotify warns.

At this point, Spotify offers two different plans to its users. First, it’s the premium account, which is available with a fee and provides unlimited music with no ads, and then, it’s the free version that lets you listen to music without paying but with ads between songs.

But according to a report by Reuters in 2018, no less than 2 million Spotify users relied on ad-blocking software to prevent ads from being played between songs, technically enjoying part of the premium benefits without paying.

This is all supposed to end on March 1 when Spotify’s new Terms of Service come into effect, as the company notes that “circumventing or blocking advertisements in the Spotify Service, or creating or distributing tools designed to block advertisements” is forbidden.
