    I don’t see how this is any different. Adverts in audio form are an abomination and intolerable. The absence of adverts from the BBC is and always will be it’s unique selling point. Spotify has begun trying the patience of its userbase lately by targeting adverts and that’s a mistake.

      “This episode is brought to you by Roka …”

      Actually, JOE, this episode is brought to me by the money I pay to Spotify each month. Roka is just giving you more money over the $200 million you get from subscribers like me.
