What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

Paying Spotify and still getting adverts.

At that point I decided that Spotify wasn't for me anymore.

    It's now been a while since I used Spotify, so no idea what it's like now. I started to get Spotify inserted adverts when listening to podcasts. After a month or so of getting adverts I stopped my subscription and moved to other sources of audio entertainment.

    I paid for Spotify primarily to get away from adverts, secondly it was more convenient than being on the wavey seas with my parrot, black flag, and wooden leg.

    It's weird to me that people use Spotify for podcasts, a free medium established 10-15 years before Spotify even added them as a feature. Why not just use one of the free podcast apps that actually are mature and also designed for podcasts to begin with?
