>I'm slowly learning to like Spotify
I'm fascinated by their annoyingly chirpy nasal ads for Spotifiy premium. At first, I thought "who'd want to make ads using actors with voices this annoying"? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of ads, to make you feel good about the product?
Then I realized that's the entire point. They can't have full-on negative ads about how we are bad Spotify users by being on free tier. So they need to make the ads as annoying as possible, while staying positive, so that we will give up and pay.
I haven't and won't. But I have bought a number of MP3s from artists who I have found here, so somebody's getting my $$.
p.s. my local telecom company hasn't quite gotten that subtle point, so they've engaged a Spotify voice actress with an even more horribly grating vocal delivery to sell me their wares 8-/ Guess who's not getting my business?
