is self-hosted streaming a thing?

Ads take up those "30 minutes of ad-free listening"

[-] Taokan@sh.itjust.works 18 points 19 hours ago

In retrospect, it could be hilariously worth it to buy an ad spot and just play that "enjoy 30 minutes of ad free listening" blurb.

[-] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Or buy ad space to play a short song.

You can sue them. If is not specified that must be in a row you CAN sue, or at least you can report them with the competent organization. It's in normal language, not legal language. People using spotify are not lawyers, are normal people. If the thing says "30 minutes free" it do must mean that, no "ooohhh you mean, 30 minutes, like, in row??" bullshit.

Fuck Spotify. Also, I can't hear the music that I want in their free plan, because I choose some song and the platform plays whatever they want. Again, fuck them.

You can sue them.

Excited to collect $.26 in damages after six years in court.

They probably have a forced arbitration clause. Using an arbitrator of their choice, of course.

Yup. And sometime last year they made getting a cracked version of Spotify an incredible pain in the ass and the guy updating the crack stopped supporting it and instead is choosing to focus on YouTube ReVanced.

My library on Spotify is over 6k songs. Been trying to slowly get them downloaded onto my phone.

There's 30 minutes ad free spread over the duration of your subscription. I thought everybody had figured it out.

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 18 hours ago

So, over the course of a year I get 30 minutes that aren't ads?

Real radio be like: 30 minutes of music free ads. I literally stopped listening to FM radio because I would drive to another town 45 minutes away and not hear a single fucking song.

At least real radio doesn't collect your information

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 day ago

More of a technical limitation than an intentional choice, but sure.

I prefer to call it a 'mechanical failsafe'.

That's supposed to be a comma - "Enjoy 30 minutes of ad, free listening"

Did they say thirty minutes in a row?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

30 minutes of ad free music. Not all in a row though.
