Good for them. The psychology of those ads are aimed at pulling in the wrong kind of mentality for people interacting with the American public to have.
We do not need to image the vile acts that the criminals that have been arrested by ICE in Minnesota already are because you can look it up on the internet and see for yourself. THAT is what a person supports when they interfere with ICE.
I honestly don't care. I love having every song in the world at my fingertips. It just so happens that likely the 3 month contract (or whatever) ended right at the time this tragic shooting happened. I'm 15 years into Spotify, it will take way too much for me to jump ship, and they know this. Lets be frank, if we are on a subreddit just for Spotify we are most likely a subscriber and have never even heard this ICE Recruitment ad.
That seems like a reasonable move. People go to Spotify to listen to music, not to be hit with political or government recruitment ads. Keeping the platform focused on music feels like the right call.
Ugh just once I want to use a product that has good moral standards 😭 every day there’s something I like that gets canceled… be it a product, service or even a celebrity.
What, I’ve been paying for a service that has advertisements to join ICE?! I didn’t know this since I don’t get the ads but I’m going to stop my service now. Thanks for posting this!
Deport every last illegal alien. Arrest and jail every protestor who obstructs ICE operations. Stop allowing anchor babies. Stop the foreign work visas.
I have over 2000 hand picked songs on my playlists.... I can't switch to another streaming service.. and it's just a service I listen to music from 🤷♀️. Every company is political or has something bad about them... I don't trust anyone that makes more than I do... But I will make use of their services if it suits me. I mean, I still shop at Target too because it's close to me and they have things I need...
Not trying to come for you, but most platforms let you transfer your playlists in bulk, I didn’t know this before I deleted my account and now I annoyingly get a pop up every 5 secs. And yes, there’s no such thing as a good corporation, but I do wonder if you’d feel the same way if you were in naturalization proceedings and thus the target of ICE or if you had friends and family get shoved and called filthy illegals (who, not that it should matter, are actually citizens).
You do what you can to say “hey this isn’t the world I want” unless this is, in which case that makes sense. But the beauty and tragedy of our century is that there are so many redundancies in products and a strong push to make customers feel dependent on big brands. There are choices.
So the ads are no longer running because ICE only paid for them for a few weeks, not because Spotify refused to run them. Meaning if ICE decided to run pay for another few weeks of ads, that Spotify would take the money and run the ads.
I have a rule for my shit-list. Once you're on it, if you want to get off it, do twice the amount of good that you did bad in order to get on it. So until further notice and for the foreseeable future, fuck you Spotify.
Anyone who stopped using Spotify for no reason other than ICE ads probably doesn't actually care about musicians to begin with. Seriously, why would anyone pay for the platform that's flooded with AI slop and pays artists the least of all streamers? Get Qobuz or GTFO.
It says 5eir ad campaign ended. Meaning the time ICE set to run the campaign ended, end of year, and/or all of their ad spend ($75k) was finished. Spotify didn’t end it abruptly.
What about YouTube?
ReplyDeleteTime to leave Spotify
ReplyDeleteGOOD.
ReplyDeleteDeport All Illegal Aliens!
Deletedeport you
DeleteToo Bad I’m legal Soyboy 😭
Deletehasn't stopped them before forehead landing strip.
DeleteThat’s because the campaign and funding for it is over, it’s not a change of heart or anything.
ReplyDeleteGood for them. The psychology of those ads are aimed at pulling in the wrong kind of mentality for people interacting with the American public to have.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's the least you can do after taking money happily while families were being torn apart, but ok....
ReplyDeleteA blemish on Spotify. Good to know their true values.
ReplyDeleteSpotify.
ReplyDeleteRakes in millions while paying artists pennies.
Alot like democrats.
Good. ICE is an uncontrolled band of thugs.
ReplyDeleteCancels spotify.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Imagine running ICE recruitment ads. I'm out!
ReplyDeleteWe do not need to image the vile acts that the criminals that have been arrested by ICE in Minnesota already are because you can look it up on the internet and see for yourself. THAT is what a person supports when they interfere with ICE.
ReplyDeleteLOL ICE are the criminals. Murderers.
ReplyDeleteWait, what was this a thing? Truly awful. I hear such strange and terrible things coming from the US after the EU.
ReplyDelete“iCE stopped running ads” fify
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't care. I love having every song in the world at my fingertips. It just so happens that likely the 3 month contract (or whatever) ended right at the time this tragic shooting happened. I'm 15 years into Spotify, it will take way too much for me to jump ship, and they know this. Lets be frank, if we are on a subreddit just for Spotify we are most likely a subscriber and have never even heard this ICE Recruitment ad.
ReplyDeleteAm i only hearing about this now? I had premium so long that I didn't noticed.
ReplyDeleteGood. I love Spotify
ReplyDeleteToo late now, I’ve moved on. Don’t try to booty call me after you already took the money from DHS..
ReplyDeleteTOO LATE
ReplyDeleteWhat would be some good alternative to Spotify??
ReplyDeleteGood news!
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a reasonable move. People go to Spotify to listen to music, not to be hit with political or government recruitment ads. Keeping the platform focused on music feels like the right call.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Spotify is awesome
ReplyDeleteI just checked my Spotify account and I found a series of videos describing careers at ICE. Does Spotify not consider these recruitment?
ReplyDeleteI’ll keep my Apple Music / thanks
ReplyDeletestill not coming back :>
ReplyDeleteawesome, good luck finding customers again
ReplyDeleteWho cares, I already switched to a different service.
ReplyDeleteToo little too late.
ReplyDeleteAnd I assume they still finance drones
About damn time.
ReplyDeleteToo late bitches, now I'll just torrent from Anna's.
ReplyDeleteNo, but they are running on reddit.
ReplyDeleteYeah but I already unsubscribed so whatever.
ReplyDeleteIs the CEO still funding AI weapons?? Also fuck them.
ReplyDeleteToo late asshats
ReplyDeleteI don’t even get ads on Spotify
ReplyDeleteEff them for even allowing this shit. A little too late
ReplyDeleteFor now. They'll respond to the moment but in a year forget about it
ReplyDeleteFuck spotify
ReplyDeleteToo late
ReplyDeleteThanks. I prefer non-US platforms anyway
ReplyDeletewhats done is done, not going back, ever
ReplyDeleteToo little too late
ReplyDeleteUgh just once I want to use a product that has good moral standards 😭 every day there’s something I like that gets canceled… be it a product, service or even a celebrity.
ReplyDeleteIs it because they decided to stop taking their money or because the advertising contract ended? This sounds like the later.
ReplyDeleteThey're still funneling money into AI to bomb children, I'll continue my non-support 💕
ReplyDeleteSorry, I can't hear you over my Monochrome streaming service that sources from Tidal.
ReplyDeletei used spotify for 17yrs, loved it, but i tell u one thing: if u support Nazis/ Gestapo, u can go and eat a prick.
ReplyDeletespotify? never again
What, I’ve been paying for a service that has advertisements to join ICE?! I didn’t know this since I don’t get the ads but I’m going to stop my service now. Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteThis means nothing when more money is paid in the military complex than paying artist.
ReplyDeleteOkay.
ReplyDeleteSee y'all on deezer!
They haven’t ditched that piece of shit, Joe Rogan, yet. They’re still fascist.
ReplyDeleteCancel your Spotify account. Joe Rogan played a huge role in getting the pants-shitting, child rapist elected again.
Deport every last illegal alien. Arrest and jail every protestor who obstructs ICE operations. Stop allowing anchor babies. Stop the foreign work visas.
ReplyDeleteGood. Too little, too late. Spotify already cashed the checks, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteTo little, to late
ReplyDeleteI thought ICE would advertise on Neo Nazi sites instead?
ReplyDeleteDo not support these Nazi sympathizing fucks. Let Joe Rogans favorite platform burn to the ground
ReplyDeleteNow that they've got their fucking blood money they stop and want us to cheer for them? After the contract ended? They can go to hell.
ReplyDeleteToo little, too late
ReplyDeleteLiberals, rejoice!
ReplyDeleteBullying works!! Let's keep doing it!
ReplyDeleteStop renting music and buy physical media
ReplyDeleteMoved on to Tidal after over a decade with Spotify. Not going back. Fuck ICE
ReplyDeleteFUCK SPOTIFY
ReplyDeleteThink it's too late.
ReplyDeleteHow about Joe Rogan?
ReplyDeleteIf they stop the drones ukraine thing too i might actually go back.
ReplyDeleteBut this is an excellent start.
And brave of them after some organisations and people have caved.
Oh cool - their marketing contract with ICE ran out. You guys are the best.
ReplyDeleteMoving up from stealing money from artists to stealing people off of the street.
Stiff poop, too late. Already left to never return as I hope many others do.
ReplyDeleteTip to everyone, Tidal is better.
Too late, fuckwads!!
ReplyDeleteI’ll confirm that I’m no longer on the platform. I jumped years ago when they kept trying to shove Joe Rogan’s podcast into my ears.
ReplyDeleteThe company that gave Joe Rogan $100 million supports fascism?! s/
ReplyDeleteThey still gave a million dollars to Trump
ReplyDeleteI have over 2000 hand picked songs on my playlists.... I can't switch to another streaming service.. and it's just a service I listen to music from 🤷♀️. Every company is political or has something bad about them... I don't trust anyone that makes more than I do... But I will make use of their services if it suits me. I mean, I still shop at Target too because it's close to me and they have things I need...

Better late than never, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteToo little too late, they already lost my business and I'm not going back.
ReplyDeleteEwe Spotify, delete. Better late the never.
ReplyDeleteSo the ads are no longer running because ICE only paid for them for a few weeks, not because Spotify refused to run them. Meaning if ICE decided to run pay for another few weeks of ads, that Spotify would take the money and run the ads.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't fucking matter. Nazi collaborators.

ReplyDeleteToo little too damn late!
ReplyDeleteWas this before or after the shooting
ReplyDeleteToo little too late. Not coming back.
ReplyDeleteOh wow how nice of you. Fuck you you complicit Nazi scum, shouldn’t have advertised terrorists in the first place.
ReplyDeleteCoolio … this shits political. Get it off the sub.
ReplyDelete«No longer» wtf. Little message to spotify… im leaving spotify all out in few weeks. Fuck y’all including for stupid military drone projects support…
ReplyDeleteToo little too fucking late.
ReplyDeleteI recieve so many emails basically begging me to subscribe to their service, and not just from spotify. I get them from disney, hulu, my ISP.
ReplyDeleteToo late. Cancelled my subscription after more than 6 years last month.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Spotify were aiding the new US gestapo, canceled my plan and deleted, fuck these guys
ReplyDeleteGreat. Now they're only ripping off artists. Fuck Spotify.
ReplyDeleteArr!
ReplyDeleteStill funding killer drones. I’ll stick with the alternatives
ReplyDeleteICE did not renew their advertising contract, that's why.
ReplyDeleteToo little too late, unfortunately
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody use Deezer? Good alternative?
ReplyDeleteFk Spotify!
ReplyDeleteTook them this long?
ReplyDeleteWell, Spotify sucks anyway. Now they suck even more, but didn't have much to offer from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteToo late. They should've never run them to begin with.
ReplyDeleteEven if they offered me 6 months for just $3 I wouldnt install the app.
Great, I stopped listening when they gave Joe Rogan $1 billion and I also wasn't listening before that because they suck
ReplyDeleteAre they still running on Reddit?
ReplyDeleteIce ice baby
ReplyDeleteQueue the fascist crybaby fuks.
ReplyDeleteToo fucking little too fucking late.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY
ReplyDeleteI already switched to tidal
ReplyDeleteIt’s about time. Almost cancelled subscription.
ReplyDelete✌️
ReplyDeleteI already got hired so no prob.
ReplyDeleteToo late
ReplyDeletethey needed someone to die just to remove those ads? that's where the draw the line i see..
ReplyDeletetoo lateeeee
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHey Spotify.
Fuck you.
- Everyone hopefully
Too late. The horse has left the barn.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who stopped using Spotify for no reason other than ICE ads probably doesn't actually care about musicians to begin with. Seriously, why would anyone pay for the platform that's flooded with AI slop and pays artists the least of all streamers? Get Qobuz or GTFO.

ReplyDeleteI just got one, seems like a cool gig
ReplyDeletefuck spotify forever
ReplyDeleteGood. Now remove the AI slop music...
ReplyDeleteToo late. Now pay the price.
ReplyDeleteBecause their contract ran out. Not because they decided to.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteSo why are they running on Reddit?
ReplyDeletedont give a shit, will never go back to spotify.
ReplyDeleteAll it took was a murder. Thanks?
ReplyDeleteProud of Spotify. Strange timing, but still proud of them.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite musical discussion, ads on a streaming platform
