There is one ad that is simply the sounds of people at a party and then halfway through the beat drops and everyone at the party screams. Most ads includes electronic music that plays for around ten seconds. Half of their ads are just annoying music with no words, until the end when they tell users to “just click on the banner!” Even after all this time, neither of us know what banner they’re asking us to click. We think every teenager can agree that adults trying to appeal to teens by using teen slang is always uncomfortable. It is also paired with an annoying pop up banner with a picture of Beyonce, reading “Click to Listen to On Fleek.” Oh, and to make matters worse, the song “Bow Down” by Beyonce is playing in the background the whole time, which just ruins that song. This horrible ad starts out with the following: “Boy, your kicks are on fleek! Girl, your nails are on fleek! Our whole squad is on fleek!! Our whole squad gets turnt to this playlist On Fleek!”ĭid you cringe when you read this? It’s almost impossible not to. Trailing closely behind that ad is the horrible ad that tries (and fails) to use teen lingo.

How do they even make an ad so awkward? It’s just audio and it makes us want to scream when we hear it! There is no purpose to that ad except to make Spotify listeners everywhere extremely uncomfortable. When you hear “So I uh….,” prepare yourself to listen to the worst and most uncomfortable ad ever created. The volume of the ads are easily one of the worst parts of the ads and is a problem that must be corrected in order to protect the sanity of Spotify users everywhere. You will inevitably be interrupted by loud honking car horns, an odd man trying to seduce a woman through music, and so on. If you’re trying to listen to your music quietly, too bad.

Why are the ads so loud? They are so much louder than the songs that when one comes on, all of a sudden your eardrums are bombarded with the obnoxious voices of Spotify ads. There are endless reasons for why Spotify ads are one of the most annoying things ever.

Have you ever used Spotify Free? If so, you may have been subjected to one of the most annoying ad campaigns in the history of modern technology.
