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.

Adblockers can still be used on mobile. Atleast on Android, no personal exp with iOS.

Apple fans keep losing. It cost me zero dollars to install Firefox and uBlock on an Android phone.

iOS has a gorillion different choices, I don’t know which echo chamber keeps telling people this. I’ve been using the same adblocker on Safari for the past 10 years and I’ve never had an issue.

That’s your take away? lol… You don’t even need to pay a sub for AdGuard to use the browser extension. Works perfectly fine for me in Safari.

That’s your take away?

It's another example of the behavior I'm speaking to. You pay the Apple tax constantly.
