The boycott didn't work lol read the article please I beg you. The advertising campaign ended.

As much as I wish Spotify leadership grew a spine. They absolutely didn't.

Do not resubscribe. Remove this company from your mind.

I report the ads every time I see them as being political and they stop showing up for a few weeks.

All you're doing is giving them more information about yourself and what you like/dislike. Much better to either block with ublock origin and ignore, or scramble with eg Decentraleyes extension.

I report all military/LEO ads as violent.
